Many bugfixes in staging

Hi all,

I have checked in staging many bug fixes.  They solve, among other
things, the recent class library breakage (in 1.1.10), as well as some
very hard to track problems like occasional deadlock in hash code
access, problems in thread initialization, and occasional stack
corruption in real-life brokenness code.

Please test the new staging code and report any regression you hit.
Sablevm 1.11 (new numbering scheme) should be an improvement over all
previous versions, not only over the broken 1.1.10.

I would like to release 1.11 tomorrow, if possible, as the new code
solves important problems that have been annoying our users for a long
time.  I just don't want it to show important regressions, so your
cooperation to test it today is highly appreciated.

Have fun!

Etienne
PS:  It's not fun debugging when gdb (or binutils, or something else)
fails to show a full back trace.  It seems there's something broken on
Debian-PowerPC. :(
