Anyone know if JVMTI is Keeping up with JSR292?

[Tom Rodriguez]

I think you are seeing 6990212.  Breakpoints should work fine but single stepping requires some machinery in the interpreter to make sure that we never jump into compiled code but the method handle path has doesn't have that code.  Method entry events use the same machinery.  If you want to try out a preliminary patch for this, grab http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~never/6990212/6990212.patch. I'd appreciate any feedback since I'm unsure how good the coverage of our internal tests are for this.
