RFR(S): 7145419 com/sun/jdi/JdbMethodExitTest.sh fails when a background thread is generating events.

[Staffan Larsen]

But that does not seem to work correctly:

Initializing jdb ...
> stop in JdbMethodExitTest.bkpt()
Deferring breakpoint JdbMethodExitTest.bkpt().
It will be set after the class is loaded.
> run
run JdbMethodExitTest
Set uncaught java.lang.Throwable
Set deferred uncaught java.lang.Throwable
>
VM Started: Set deferred breakpoint JdbMethodExitTest.bkpt()

Breakpoint hit: "thread=main", JdbMethodExitTest.bkpt(), line=84 bci=0
84           int i = 0;     //@1 breakpoint

main[1] threads
Group system:
  (java.lang.ref.Reference$ReferenceHandler)0x17c Reference Handler cond. waiting
  (java.lang.ref.Finalizer$FinalizerThread)0x17b  Finalizer         cond. waiting
  (java.lang.Thread)0x17a                         Signal Dispatcher running
Group main:
  (java.lang.Thread)0x1                           main              running (at breakpoint)
main[1] thread 0x17a
Signal Dispatcher[1]


If the thread number was part of the prompt, I would have expected that last line to say "Signal Dispatcher[17a]".
