See subject.  Does anybody know?   The only thing it appears to do is  
cause a recaching of the JvmtiBreakpoint cache after minor  
collections, which is unnecessary as a minor collection will not  
change any bytecode pointers.  It's a "product" flag, defaulting to  
false.  Can it be removed or deprecated?  It seems useless.
