This change did seem to cure the Blackdown JDK-RC4 crash.  For what
it's worth I was using jikes version 1.03 before I switched back to
javac.  Next I need to understand why the application VM died (Reaped
message) and how to make JDE deal a little more gracefully with
messages such as "Reaped pid = 4224, status = 1" as shown in the
*JDebug* buffer, which follows.  Any insight or suggestions on where
to start looking on either issue would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

*JDebug*

java -classpath /projects/jde/java/lib/jde.jar:/data/pmr/java/jdk/lib/jpda.jar 
jde.debugger.Main


(jde-dbo-init-debug-session)
JDE> -1 1 launch 1 -use_executable java -classpath /home/pmr/test -Xms16m -Xmx96m Test 



Reaped pid = 4224, status = 1
