The JDB debug agent in 1.1.4 does not work on Solaris native threads,
because it cannot access the thread state information. Apparently
there is a fix for this in 1.2 but it needs to go into 1.1 as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Test case:
test.java file:
=========================================================================
public class test {
    static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println("test");
    }
}
=========================================================================

compile with javac, run jdb
The statement "Initializing jdb..." is spit out and the prompt is never
returned.

If I type ^Z to suspend it and bring it back into foreground, it gets to
the jdb prompt immediately. If I then type "stop in test::main" and then
the command "run". The 1.1.3 version gives me an error about the thread
not being suspended. The 1.1.4 Pre-Release version runs the entire program
before ever stopping and then gives me the error "Current thread isn't
suspended." for commands like list. If I use the 1.1.4 version from
java.sun.com with the green threads it works fine.
