Details

We should investigate if we can avoid creating and taking an extra lock in addition to the GC lock to implement the watchdog thread functionality from the bug #453157. This is feasible since NSPR allows to create several conditional variables per lock and SpiderMonkey relies on that. Thus at least in theory we should be able to base the watchdog conditional on the GC lock.
Runtime is now single-threaded.
