Hi,

Please review this small fix. The HAS_PENDING_EXCEPTION check will always return false since EXCEPTION_MARK will check that there are no pending exceptions upon entering and VMThread::execute() doesn't throw exceptions.
The comment says that we could get a potential async exception, which is true, since the JT will be blocked waiting on VMOperation_lock. However delivering an async exception doesn't set the _pending_exception field, only additional fields (see JavaThread::send_thread_stop() -> set_pending_async_exception()) that will be later check in check_and_handle_async_exceptions() and only then _pending_exception will be set.

Thanks,
Patricio
