 The jdb from jdk1.4.0 fails to pass the test against "threadgroup" command.
The test works as follows.

The number of threads are created in two named ThreadGroup(s) in the
debugged test application. The jdb stops the debugeed application at
given breakpoint and then lists all existing thread groups upon
"threadgroups" command. Then two "threadgroup <thread_group_name>"
commands try to set up application's thread groups as default.
But the jdb message:
  "myGroup-..." is not a valid threadgroup name.
is received.
  
This failure is observed on all platforms - Solaris, Linux, Windows.
The jdb from jdk1.4.0-beta3-b84 build was tested.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. cd /net/sqesvr.sfbay/export/vsn/GammaBase/Bugs/{this bug ID}
2. sh doit.sh {JAVA_HOME} {PERL5_PATH}

where JAVA_HOME is for jdk1.4.0 and PERL5_PATH is path to perl5 binary.

This bug affects the following testbase_nsk test:
   nsk/jdb/threadgroup/threadgroup001
    
======================================================
Below is the jdb input command scenario:

stop at ThreadGroupTest:116
run ThreadGroupTest
threadgroups
threadgroup myGroup-0
threads
threadgroup myGroup-1
threads
cont

======================================================
Below is the jdb output redirected to X.debug.out file.
It shows that there is a tail of null symbols after name of thread group
in a "threadgroups" and "threads" commands' output.
