App with multiple threads reboot the Android userspace

I made an app (Java based, without JNI stuff), to stress our android device. It does some intensive work and /sdcard IO writes (They are 60 threads) all of them are with FOREGROUND priority.

After a couple of minutes appeared crashes in different places (system_server - FinalizerDaemon timeouts) and then the Watchdog rebooted the device with message Watchdog killing system process: null.

I tested it also on Nexus 7 and other android devices in production, the behavior is the SAME. It seems that some apk, can overload the system and to reboot the user-space.

Is this behavior (under high pressure/load from FOREGROUND threads) is by design in android Jelly-Bean and are there any plans for some remedy for this situation.

OS: When a thread is considered as worker thread and how it's functionality is different from other threads ?

I heard the term "worker thread" and other types of threads such as "system thread" and "user thread".
For me a thread is nothing but a lite weight process and multi-threaded design is chosen for a software development when there are multiple task in the application/system and those tasks can be executed independently.
I want to know when these different terms are used like worker thread, user thread and system thread ?
