See Joe Bowbeer's example from the OOPSLA workshop, posted at the end
of http://www.cs.umd.edu/~pugh/java/memoryModel/workshop/
And pasted here for convenience:

    Initially:
    volatile boolean stop = false;

    Thread 1:
    synchronized(this) {
            while (!stop) work();
            }

    Thread 2:
    stop = true;
    synchronized(this) {
            consumeWork();
            }
