JVMDI spec "Get Local Variable" section reads:
"The functions return one of the following error codes:
....
     JVMDI_ERROR_TYPE_MISMATCH
         The variable is not an appropriate type for the function used."

The HotSpot VM 1.3fcs-R (both win32 and Solaris) fails the test
nsk/jvmdi/GetLocalVariable/getlocal002 from testbase_nsk as GetLocalInt and
GetLocalDouble functions do not see a mismatch between the type of a local
variable and their own type.
Classic also fails the test.

To reproduce the bug run
doit.sh <jdk root directory>
in
GammaBase/Bugs/<this bug number>

The test outputs:

java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0-Q)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3-R, interpreted mode)

Failed to return JVMDI_ERROR_TYPE_MISMATCH. err = 0
intVal = 1086324736
Failed to return JVMDI_ERROR_TYPE_MISMATCH for double. err = 0
