Thank you for the reply Paul.
It turns out an errant call in my .emacs was wiping out the system-name
variable, resulting in it being nil. My debug problem occurred because of
an assumption that the system-name will not be nil. This is an abnormal
situation, but you may still want to check in jde-dbs.el for system-name ==
nil when setting the jde-bug-debugger-host-address variable and display a
warning message and default it to 127.0.0.1 like you used to have it in
pre-prod 2.1.6 (that's why it worked for me before!).
Thanks again for the help and the product!
