1. A method to facilitate suspending threads in a platform-independent virtual machine implemented on an operating system that lacks a global mechanism for suspending threads, comprising:

  • executing a thread requiring other threads to be suspended;

    changing a scheduling policy for the thread; and

    raising a priority of the thread to a highest available priority, whereby changing the scheduling policy and raising the priority of the thread causes the thread to run to completion while other threads do not run.
