Hmm, did the equally long standing print java string bug also get fixed? > I don't know what "minimal" means, specifically. I'm told that It works really well at backtraces, but starts to struggle when printing variables, values, and objects, and really struggles with dynamic compiled/loaded shared libraries. As for byte codes :-) Andrew
