JVMPI_EVENT_INSTRUCTION_START is never dispatched since JDK1.5.0-b15

Starting from build JDK1.5.0-b15, JVMPI implementation does not dispatch
JVMPI_EVENT_INSTRUCTION_START event, even if
  * -Xint and -XX:+EnableJVMPIInstructionStartEvent JVM switches are specified
  * either JVMPI_VERSION_1_1 or JVMPI_VERSION_1_2 is used by the agent

This breaks such tool as JCov, regularly used by a number of QA teams to measure
JDK classes code coverage.

To reproduce, store the attachments (makefile, simple agent source, simple Java app source)
in some <DIR>, tune paths in the Makefile, then run

% cd <DIR>; gnumake run

This will produce the following output:
--- output start ---
*** JVMPI version used: JVMPI_VERSION_1_2
*** event: JVMPI_EVENT_JVM_INIT_DONE
Hello world!
*** event: JVMPI_EVENT_JVM_SHUT_DOWN
*** Test failed: JVMPI_EVENT_INSTRUCTION_START did not occur!
--- output end ---
Then change the JDK_BUILD_NUM macro to "b14" - the test will then pass.
