1. At the beginning the VirtualMachine comands check if gdata->vmDead is 
true
     and in such case just return with the JDWP_ERROR(VM_DEAD) error or 
quietly.
     Normally, the cbVMDeath event callback needs to wait for just one 
command.

Please, see the VirtualMachine.c and the following comment in 
debugLoop_run():

             } else if (gdata->vmDead &&
              ((cmd->cmdSet) != JDWP_COMMAND_SET(VirtualMachine))) {
                 /* Protect the VM from calls while dead.
                  * VirtualMachine cmdSet quietly ignores some cmds
                  * after VM death, so, it sends it's own errors.
                  */
                 outStream_setError(&out, JDWP_ERROR(VM_DEAD));
             } else {


2. We do not have many choices.
     Without a sync on a command completeness we will continue getting 
WRONG_PHASE errors intermittently.
     Another choice is to use already reviewed ignore_wrong_phase 
workaround.
     Note, the workaround works Ok not for all the commands.
     I understand, we need to make sure nothing is broken if we choose 
this approach. :)

3. What delay would you consider lengthy: 1 sec, 10 sec, 1 min.?
     For instance, I can add 10 sec sleep to provoke the command 
execution delay and see what can be broken.
     With 1 min sleep I see some timeouts in the jtreg com/sun/jdi tests 
though which is probably Ok.

Thanks,
Serguei
