Ah, yes, now it comes back to me -- JVMDI is the lowest level part of
JPDA.
I'll try to dig that stuff out of it's tomb. Please ping me in a
couple of days in case I forget. I may have to send you a big tarball
though and you may have to figure out how to get the diffs from that
yourself. If I don't have to fight with CVS too much I'll make diffs
for you though.
