Thank you Serguei for the comment.  I thought of putting the event log 
first but really wanted it to tell which classes were already 
redefined.  So I decided to improve the error message for printing the 
VM_Operation to include the class being redefined.

With the following change, there's a crash during redefinition, the 
hs_err_pid file will have:

VM_Operation (0x00007f49a294a400): RedefineClasses, mode: safepoint, 
requested by thread 0x00007f499
800e800, redefining class RedefineRunningMethods$B

open webrev at http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~coleenp/8081219.02/

Tested manually with a ShouldNotReachHere in various places.

Thanks,
Coleen
