/**
 * GCThreadLeakPreventer
 *
 * Prevents a call to sun.misc.GC.requestLatency pinning a webapp classloader
 * by calling it with a non-webapp classloader. The problem appears to be that
 * when this method is called, a daemon thread is created which takes the 
 * context classloader. A known caller of this method is the RMI impl. See
 * http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6626680/does-java-garbage-collection-log-entry-full-gc-system-mean-some-class-called
 * 
 * This preventer will start the thread with the longest possible interval, although
 * subsequent calls can vary that. Recommend to only use this class if you're doing
 * RMI.
 * 
 * Inspired by Tomcat JreMemoryLeakPrevention.
