Please review the change that fixes JDB stepping issue for a specific case when the single step request was initiated earlier in the stack, previous calls were for methods in the filtered classes (single stepping was disabled), handleMethodEnterEvent() re-enabled stepping and the first bytecode upon entering the current method requires resolving constant pool entry. In this case the execution resumes in java.lang.Classloader.loadClass() and since it is also a filtered class the single stepping is getting disabled again (stepControl.c :593).  When loadClass() exits a notifyFramePop() is called on the loadClass() frame but due to condition fromDepth >= afterPopDepth  at stepControl.c :346 (that doesn't hold in this case, in this case fromDepth is 1 and afterPopDepth  is 4) the notifyFramePop() fails to enable single stepping back. The fix removes the excessive condition fromDepth >= afterPopDepth  in notifyFramePop() method (stepControl.c:346)  to ensure that when a method cal!
 led from the stepping frame (and during which we had stepping disabled) has returned the stepping is re-enabled to continue  instructions steps in the original stepping frame.
