My neither. If it is truly the case that an object can become unreachable
and finalized whilst one of its methods is still executing, or could
execute, then it seems to me that this whole aspect of GC is fundamentally
broken. Any attempts at trying to "fix" anything via special JMM rules seems
both insufficient and inappropriate and somewhat futile.
