The JVMDI spec for the function PopFrame() says:

|This function returns either a universal error or one of the following errors:
|
| JVMDI_ERROR_INVALID_THREAD
| thread was invalid.
|
| JVMDI_ERROR_NULL_POINTER
| Invalid pointer.

However, returning the error JVMDI_ERROR_NULL_POINTER has the following issues.

1) It does not match the other parts of the spec and JVMTI spec for similar
function PopFrame():

- the other JVMDI functions return JVMDI_ERROR_NULL_POINTER only if there is
an invalid pointer (in other words, an output parameter) and some value should
be returned via the pointer.

- the JVMTI spec for PopFrame() does not mention the JVMTI_ERROR_NULL_POINTER.
 
2) It confuses forcing to verify two errors for the invalid input parameter
'jthread' instead of the only one JVMDI_ERROR_INVALID_THREAD.

So, the following two lines:

        JVMDI_ERROR_NULL_POINTER
            Invalid pointer

should be deleted from the JVMDI spec for PopFrame().

This bug affects the following test from testbase_nsk:
