not that I know of. the problem is with the design of the java.util.Timer class. 
There's a circular dependency:

- the background thread won't stop until the its timer instance is garbage collected
- the timer instance won't get collected until the background thread is stopped

I guess you have to wait for 1.1.1 or patch your jackrabbit with the changes for 
JCR-600.
