GlobalScreen.isNativeHookRegistered() returns true momentarily if hooking fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Somehow create the situation in which creating the hook will fail (eg. 
creating manu hooks without unhooking)
2. execute this code:
    GlobalScreen.registerNativeHook();
    System.out.println(GlobalScreen.isNativeHookRegistered());
    System.out.println(GlobalScreen.isNativeHookRegistered());

This gives:
true
false

Should give:
false
false

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows XP x64

This is a bug in the thread start up blocking incorrectly on Windows.  Should 
be fixed in the trunk in the next couple of days.

Hello.  Any update on this fix?  Or is it already packaged into a new JAR?

Not yet, I am having some hand/wrist problems that are seriously slowing me 
down at the moment.  Ill try to at least get a fix in the trunk tonight.

This should be addressed in version 1.2.  Will backport to 1.1.5 when I feel 
that the 1.2 code is stable.
