      In the wire protocol between agent.Agent and debug.RemoteAgent, SET_SLOT_VALUE
      for char and float no longer send upgrade to int and double, but instead
      send char and float. This is incompatible with the 1.1 wire protocol. There
      is no need for an incompatible wire protocol. Implementation changes in
      1.2, for example object IDs, are opaque to JDB/sun.tools.debug.RemoteAgent,
      so it would be nice if 1.1.X JDB could speak to 1.2 agent.Agent. The 1.2
      wire protocol for SET_STACK_VALUE is still compatible. It is only
      SET_SLOT_VALUE that is not.
