I take it you're working against http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea7
rather than the forest directly?

I noticed a number of DTrace changes in the recent u4 changes over the weekend,
when trying to bring IcedTea7 in sync with the forest again.  The DTrace parts
of the code have been altered to support Mac OS X as well as Solaris.  It means that
systemtap.patch has to change quite a bit, so it would be appreciated if you
could check over the changes once pushed.
