The underlying problem here is that the SWTRunner was ignoring that  
the SWT Display was disposed; this is fixed in r514 (unreleased).

However, the SWTRunner does not yet shut down properly (in fact, there  
is an overall lack of support for disorderly shutdowns; specifically  
addDeadManSwitch as existant in DeadRunner needs to be made available  
for use in this case), and the code which would need to handle the  
shutdown notification and exit the process probably doesn't exist, so  
the only visible difference is that it doesn't consume CPU and flood  
the tracelog, but just does nothing and still needs to be killed.
