Embedded server - Setting a ThreadPool to SelectChannelConnector will cause all requests to freeze

Upgrading from 7.2 to 7.5/8.0 caused the following code to freeze/hang all requests to the created instance indefinitely.

Server server = new Server();
SelectChannelConnector connector = new SelectChannelConnector();
connector.setPort(9090);

QueuedThreadPool threadPool = new QueuedThreadPool();
connector.setThreadPool(threadPool);

server.addConnector(connector);

// ... add a servlet handler

server.start();

If you explicitly start the QueuedThreadPool instance before starting the server instance it will work. This seems very odd, since the thread pool is started in AbstractConnector.doStart().

Attached is a maven project with a test case that reproduces the problem.

JETTY-1428 seems to be the same issue, but it was dismissed because a custom built threadpool was used.
