Hi,
 I'm trying to use the GetThreadStatus native call.

I make a wrapper for GetThreadStatus in a .c file :

JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_deadlockMonitor_myGetThreadStatus
  (JNIEnv *env, jobject caller, jobject thread) {
  jint stat;
  jvmdiError err;
  err = JVMDI_GetThreadStatus(env, thread, &stat);
  return (err+stat);
}

 And then call it on the java side as follows:

public static void main (String [] args) {
 Thread t = new mythread (); // has something in the run method
 try {
 t.sleep (5000);
 catch (Exception e) {}

 int stat = myGetThreadStatus (t);
 System.out.println ("stat = " + stat);
}

And run it, I get a "4" (WAIT) when I would expect a "2" (SLEEPING).

I've tried changing thread priorities, but this doesn't help. In short, I've never seen this function return a
THREAD_STATUS_SLEEPING. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong here...

Just thought you should know,
