We have a debugger written in java (with a nice UI) which uses the classes
in package sun.tools.debug. The current execution point in the program
being debugged is right before calling a constructor method, then we call
RemoteThread.step(XXX) to step into that constructor. Then, after we get
control back via our DebuggerCallback.breakpointEvent, we call
RemoteThread.dumpStack() and it never returns. The VM just hangs at this
point. Under JDK1.1, it all works fine.

This is a very serious problem. Our debugger is nearly unusable this way.
Also, we have been source licensees for a long time, but we have never
actually received the source code for the sun.tools.debug classes, so I cannot
even debug this myself. If you could give us the source for sun.tools.debug,
I would be happy to look into this myself. Thanks.
