  The following simple test demonstrates that jdb produces malformed messages
in stdout for caught exceptions when "catch" command is used. It looks like
jdb prints the mesagges from different sources with overlap. The bug is observed
on Linux and Solaris x86 only.

------------------ Test.java ------------------
class Test {
    public static void main(String argv []) {
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            try {
                throw new MyException("User defined exception is thrown :" + i);
            } catch (MyException e) {
                System.out.println(e);
            }
        }
    }
}

class MyException extends Exception {
    public MyException (String s) {
        super(s);
    }
}
-----------------------------------------------

Steps to reproduce:

 1. Copy Test.java in your working directory and compile it.
 2. Launch jdb.
 3. When jdb gives the prompt, type the following jdb commands:
       catch MyException<enter>
       run Test<enter>
       
 4. Repeat "cont" command until jdb exit (10 times) when it reports
    about caught exceptions and waits for the input.
    
    
 Below is example of malformed output on Linux RedHat 6.2 ("^" symbol points at what is wrong ):
