Hi Coleen, 

thanks for the hint, I adapted the webrev.
Looks better like that.

Best regards,
  Goetz.

Hi,
This isn't a full review but can you refactor 
InterpreterRuntime::note_trap() so that there isn't duplicated code?    
It doesn't seem like there are enough differences for a separate function.

Thanks,
Coleen
