The Hotspot VM build 1.4beta-B58 for Sparc/Sparcv9 fails the following
tests from testbase_nsk:

    nsk/jvmdi/ClearBreakpoint/clrbrk004
    nsk/jvmdi/SetBreakpoint/setbrk006
    
The first test crashes both Client and Server VM, but the second
test crashes only Server VM.

Both tests passes the Hotspot VM build 1.3.1beta-b19 in all modes.

To reproduce the bug run in GammaBase/Bugs/<this bug number>
directory for clrbrk004:

    sh doit1.sh <JDK root directory> <Java options>

and for setbrk006:

    sh doit2.sh <JDK root directory> -server

Running the clrbrk004 test output:

java version "1.4.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta-b58)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-beta-b58-debug, interpreted mode)

Running the setbrk006 test produces similar output.

This crash looks like a regression of the bug 4315284.
