Hi Staffan -
This looks good, and I don't believe it breaks anything I use, or hear
of being used (anecdotally: sightings of BugSpot in use to my knowledge
are very very limited, and not recent!)
Thanks
Kevin

My understanding is that BugSpot was intended as a more general native debugger not only focused on the JVM, but that it was never fully implemented. I don't think there is a need for a general-purpose debugger in SA and would like to clean up the code. One effect of this change is that PStack and PMap will no longer be able to operate on executables other than the JVM.
