Salida

111 Thread[pool-1-thread-1,5,main]InitialValue
222 Thread[pool-1-thread-2,5,main]InitialValue
333 Thread[pool-1-thread-1,5,main]NewInitialValue
444 Thread[pool-1-thread-2,5,main]InitialValue

Esperaba "NewInitialValue" en la última línea de salida desde 333 Thread engendrado de Thread 444 y tl es un hilo heredable local.
