I just tried it again (repeatedly) and I could not recreate the problem at all either way (with or without disabling breakpoints first). Now gdb just politely disables the breakpoints it can't enable in shared libraries and I just manually enable them later. So I think this problem is caused either by stack/memory corruption or some variable not being initialized properly. It seems to be quite random. I will keep playing with gdb and the jdk and let you know what is up. If it happens again, I will definitely try to get a pure c program that exhibits the same problems. > BTW, I just fixed one of the bugs (there were actually two separate bugs) > which was causing one of the shared library tests to fail.

I just need to play around with it some more under native threads to make sure some of the old problems have not cropped back up. Overall a very big improvement! Thanks, Kevin -- Kevin B.
