Well, tc gets the new reference to the object each time the method is
called, but I would worry about the garbage collector.  When you create the
new instance, the reference to the old instance becomes unused.  What has a
reference to the old and still executing thread? Nothing, so the garbage
collector might try to clean up thereby ruining the data members.

You may get lucky because an event listener could have a reference and keep
the instance alive, but...

Maybe keep all the references on a Stack or Vector.
