Problem:  
It appears that two Animator threads controlling two GLCanvas objects deadlock,
or one of the threads starve.

Description:
This problem occurs when a single JFrame contains two JPanel's that each contain
a GLCanvas controled by an Animator thread.  Three behaviors have been observed:
 Both threads will deadlock; One thread will run and the other will starve; Both
threads run.

When both threads run, no exceptions are thrown and both panels will render with
animation, but other bugs crop up.  I've noticed that JMenuItem won't render
until it is highlighted.

When one of the animation threads is starved, the following exception is thrown:

Example program which renders two rotating squares in two JFrames contained in a JSplitPane.

A better example.  This one creates two JSplitFrames and three JPanels.  The animator threads are started when the user selects the Test/Start All menu item.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I can't reproduce any deadlock with JOGL 1.1 b10 but can see the other reported
behavior like the menus not repainting. The latter appears to be due solely to
the CPU being starved. Creating a custom animation thread and drawing the three
canvases in turn works, and has the added side effect that the start and stop
menu items work all the time and don't throw any exceptions.
