The following NSK jdi tests fails on all platforms and in all VM modes:
    nsk/jdi/ThreadReference/status/status008
    nsk/jdi/ThreadReference/status/status003

These tests will be available in r25 of testbase_nsk.

The status008 test fails with exception when debugger tries to suspend
initialized, but unstarted debuggee's thread:
# ERROR: debugger FAILURE > CHECK2 FAILED
# ERROR: debugger FAILURE > Unexpected exception while calling ThreadReference.suspend
for unStartedThread : java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException

And the status003 test fails with the same exception when debugger tries
to suspend finished debuggee's threads:
# ERROR: debugger FAILURE > CHECK2 FAILED
# ERROR: debugger FAILURE > Unexpected exception while calling ThreadReference.suspend()
for finishedThread : java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException
# ERROR: debugger FAILURE > CHECK4 FAILED
# ERROR: debugger FAILURE > Unexpected exception while calling ThreadReference.suspend()
for interruptedThread : java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException

Though this exception looks reasonable in these cases, but the JDI spec
says nothing about IllegalThreadStateException which may be thrown in
ThreadReference.suspend() and ThreadReference.resume(). The JDWP spec
also has no errors if Suspend or Resume command is called for ThreadReference
of unstarted or finished threads.
But JVMTI spec specify JVMTI_ERROR_THREAD_NOT_ALIVE error in this case.

To reproduce the failure of status008 test do the following steps:
    cd /net/jano.sfbay/export/disk20/GammaBase/Bugs/<this bug number>
    sh doit.sh $JAVA_HOME [$DEBUGEE_VM_OPTS]

If not running threads cannot be suspended, specifications for those
ThreadReference methods which require threads to be suspended, like
frameCount(), frames() and so on, should also have words about their
application to not running threads.

This test fails for the same reason, see http://vmsqe.sfbay/nightly/mantis/DTWS/results/04-05-04/ClientVM/linux-i386/mixed/Main_Baseline/nsk.sajdi-NIGHTLY-Main_Baseline-ClientVM-mixed-linux-i386-2004-04-05-22-33-28/analysis.html

JDI method ThreadReference.resume() has the same problem - it
throws
    java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException

for unstarted/finished threads, but this is not stated in the JDI spec.
