Yup.

Sure would be nice if we could see native methods in the stacktraces, kind
of like this:

   java.lang.Thread.State: RUNNABLE
at (C/C++) __kernel_vsyscall( ())
at (C/C++) readBytes( (jre/lib/i386/libjava.so))
at (C/C++) Java_java_io_FileInputStream_readBytes(
(jre/lib/i386/libjava.so))
at java.io.FileInputStream.readBytes(Native Method)
