Ugh, I did it again. I was thinking CNI & interpreted. Of course we run 
with compiled CLASSES and interpreted code. But the result is the same: 
I was planning to treat classes compiled to native the same as a JNI 
native methods. So if one attempts to set a breakpoint on 
java.lang.Object.wait (for example), JDWP/JVMTI would return a "native 
method" error. [Heck, it would bail long before that, but it was just an 
example.]

A bug in _Jv_FindInterpreterMethod when you feed it something like 
java.lang.Object. He discovered it earlier today. I'm sure we'll have a 
patch sometime early tomorrow. [It's just a simple bug. How tough can it 
be? (TM)]

Are you sure about the patch? I don't want to commit anything that gives 
you the willies or keeps you up at night...
