[Advanced-java] Wierd Behavior at time of creating a thread -

[Kashikar, Makarand]

Hi all,
I need to know if anyone of you has experienced this kind of behavior 

Solaris Info :
Release: 5.7
Kernel architecture: sun4u
Application architecture: sparc
Hardware provider: Sun_Microsystems
Domain: 
Kernel version: SunOS 5.7 Generic 106541-19

JDK info :
java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-b24)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode)

When my java server starts - in the main thread i do this -

System.out.println("Creating the my Thread");
lt = new MyThread (); // and the MyThread extends from java.lang.Thread

// MyThread in simplest form looks like this -
public class MyThread extends Thread
{
	public MyThread()
	{
		super("My thread");
		System.out.println("Super returned");
	}
}

Like once in 20 times (this is also random)
sometimes the program just hangs at the statement "lt = new MyThread ();"
so what I see in log file is "Creating the my Thread" and then I never see
"Super returned".

Basically looks like the thread constructor doesnt return -

Has anyone experienced this kind of situation -
There is a bug for this which is close to this situation -

I am going to try this -XX:+UseBoundThreads option - 
but any other help would be greatly appreciated -
