The following JDI test of testbase_nsk

    nsk/jdi/LaunchingConnector/launch/launch001

failed on Linux-ia64 Itanium platform with the promouted
Hopper-b11 build as well as with the latest b12 weekly build.

This test uses com.sun.jdi.CommandLineLaunch connector with
dt_socket transport to launch target VM. However, JVM exits
with exception:

java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException:
/.automount/koori.sfbay/root/p/v06/jdk/1.4.1/beta/b11/binaries/linux-ia64/jre/bin/ia64/java: not found

Looks like launching connector tries to start java launcher
from the missed directory:

    $JAVA_HOME/jre/bin/ia64/java

On other (not Itanium) platforms target VM is usually launched
from the existent directory:

    $JAVA_HOME/jre/bin/java

So this may be problem with launching connector or missing directrory
on Itanium builds.

On Windows-ia64 platform launching connector uses dt_shmem transport
and so failed due to the known bug:

    4686901 dt_shmem transport error on Windows-ia64 platform

So it is not possible to see if such a missed directory will be
used by launching connector also on Windows-ia64 platform.

Since default launching connector is used in all JDI and JDB tests
of testbase_nsk, this bug blocks execution of all these tests
on Linux-ia64 platform (and may be also on Windows-ia64 platform).
As an workaround it is possible to use attaching or listening
connectors to run these tests, but this is also blocked by other
JPDA bugs found for Itanium platforms.

To reproduce the failure use 'doit.sh' script located here:

  /net/sqesvr.sfbay/export/vsn/GammaBase/Bugs/<this bug number>

use:
  sh doit.sh $JAVA_HOME

where $JAVA_HOME should point to JDK for Linux-ia64 platform
