jdbx does not work with jdk 1.3.1 starting with rc1 build 19 onwards.
rc1 build 18 is ok. The VM appears to go into a deadlock of some
sorts.
The script below can be used to reproduce the problem,
<scriptname> b18 should work as it uses build 18
<scriptname> b19 does not work, causes a hang and it can be
stopped with a ^C

#!/bin/ksh

doit()
{
    cat <<EOF >/tmp/JJ.java
public class JJ {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        System.out.println("Hello, world!");
    }
}
EOF
    cat <<EOF >/tmp/in
debug /tmp/JJ.class
run
EOF
}

#set -x
doit

# Run jdbx on the JJ class
runit()

    jdk=$1
    $jdk/bin/javac -g /tmp/JJ.java
