The Hotspot (build 1.4.0-beta-b52) crashes while executing as target VM
in the following test from testbase_nsk:

   nsk/jdi/WatchpointEvent/field/field001

The crash is observed on merlin (both Client and Server VM) on
Solaris Sparc, Solaris Intel, Windows, Linux. The test passes fine
on all platforms on ladybird.
 
The test exercises com.sun.jdi.event.WatchpointEvent.field() method.
The debugger part of the test (object001.java) creates
AccessWatchpointRequest for static and instance fields of loaded class
in target VM (object001a.java). Then the debugger checks if
WatchpointEvents are received for requested fields.

The crash still occurs if only one array field is declared and initialized
in class object001a.

JDK version:
java version "1.4.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta-b52)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4beta-B52, mixed mode)

The error message in output in the same on all platforms:

# ERROR: No WatchpointEvents were received
