I think there's been some discussion of this recently on the gdb list.
Anyway I know the gdb hackers are aware of it, and hopefully they are
taking care of it.
Java support in gdb is still only so-so, IMHO. I still find it
occasionally annoying to debug Java code. For instance, you can't
print a String from a C++ frame because you get "unknown type".
That's been a bug for years now.
