If you don't get any answers, it is that people don't have any ideas
and / or nothing useful to say.

For example, this is the first time I hear about a problem with this
internal VM thread. While other "Tomcat arbitrarily freezes" issues
are well known on some OSes, this one is brand new to me. You seem to
assert that this is a common problem encountered by many people, and
you also seem certain that your problems come for that (which means
bad luck, as this is an internal VM thread). Can you give links giving
more details about this ?
