I don't know the priorities of the threads here, but if they are not equal,
the cyg_thread_delete may not do what you expect. You should change that to 

while (cyg_thread_delete(threadJVM) == FALSE)
  cyg_thread_delay(1);

Other than that I can't particularly see what's wrong. Perhaps you would be
best sending the list (not me personally) a small *self-contained* test
case showing the problem. Also tell us your target.
