icedtea-jvmtiEnv.patch - I thought JvmtiEnv::GetLineNumberTable already handled this case so I'm curious why this one is needed. Added by Andrew Haley as part of work on Shark; perhaps he can explain. GetLineNumberTable checks for a missing table but not for a zero-length one. I had a crash in Shark, but I can't remember exactly where. Andrew. I need to double-check the VM and JVM TI specs but off-hand, I believe a zero-length table is possible. I wonder if this was a case of the agent not handling the zero-length case. Anyway, if you do remember the details please send them on to serviceability-dev.
