The program calls a thread's run() method instead of calling
start(), which causes the code to run in the thread of the caller instead of the
callee.
Extended Description
In most cases a direct call to a Thread object's run() method is a bug.
The programmer intended to begin a new thread of control, but accidentally
called run() instead of start(), so the run() method will execute in the
caller's thread of control.
