	 * Try to hit concurrency bug in org.aspectj.apache.bcel.classfile.LocalVariableTable.unpack().
	 * We do so by running unpack() on same instance with multiple threads, and artificially
	 * delaying all threads but first so that they enter unpack() the moment first thread is about to leave it.
	 *
	 * Since this test relies on empirically obtained access pattern and number of iterations,
	 * it never has 100% probability of hitting the bug. If it fails - there is certainly a bug.
	 * If it passes, it could mean anything - fully correct code or slightly changed execution order preventing
	 * threads to collide at problematic location.
	 *
	 * As such, it is not really good for unit testing.
