Agreed.  I reversed the patch, especially given that JDK with jit does
the same.

I think it's safe to say code that parses stacktrace will have to be
VM-specific.

About Alex's problem: another possibility to access thread-local
storage without adding locals would be to use java.lang.ThreadLocal.
That's a bit expensive, but it's for debugging only anyway.
