Incomplete "fake exception" stacktraces

[David Holmes]

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the explanation. I agree that having exitOnError be a macro 
so that NSK_JVMTI_VERIFY works in that case, would be better.

I suspect I'm hitting an issue in the nsk test infrastructure, but I 
hvae no visibility into what. :(
