Hi Tobias,

If the method is deoptimized once the the monitor is being locked (by a
concurrent class loading), then we would not want to reexecute the
bytecode. Not sure if we can have a single bytecode where sometimes we
want to reexecute the bytecode, sometimes not.

Sure. The thing I still don't understand is why the bci of the
monitorenter, given it can throw, is not included in the range covered
by the exception handler. Shouldn't it be?
