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.

I will update my cvs tree tomorrow.
Again thanks for all your help. 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
