Hi Chris and JC,

Thank you for reviewing this change.  Please review a new version of the fix 
that uses
the approach Chris suggested ( disabling the single stepping during the class 
resolution).

Just in case please find below the stack trace for this case when loadClass() 
method is entered.

    Hi Daniil,
    
    I don't see an explanation for why fromDepth is 1 and afterPopDepth is 4.
    
             currentDepth = getThreadFrameCount(thread);
             fromDepth = step->fromStackDepth;
             afterPopDepth = currentDepth-1;
    
    step->fromStackDepth got setup when single stepping was first setup for 
    this thread. There was also a notifyFramePop() done at this time, but I 
    think that's just to catch exiting from the method you were single 
    stepping in, and has no bearing in the case we are looking at here, 
    where we area still some # of frames below where we user last issued a 
    STEP_INTO. The FRAME_POP we are receiving now is not the one for when 
    step->fromStackDepth was setup, but is for when we stepped into a 
    filtered method. I think this is what the "fromDepth > afterPopDepth" 
    check is for. I think the current logic is correct for intended handling 
    of a FRAME_POP event. Although your fix is probably solving the problem, 
    I get the feeling it is enabling single stepping too soon in many cases. 
    That many not turn up as an error in any tests, but could cause 
    debugging performance issues, or for the user to see spurious single 
    step events that they were not expecting.
    
    I think the bug actually occurs long before we ever get to this point in 
    the code (and we should in fact not be getting here). In my last entry 
    in the bug I mentioned JvmtiHideSingleStepping(), and how it is used to 
    turn off single stepping while we are doing invoke and field resolution, 
    but doesn't seem to be used during class resolution, which is what we 
    are doing here. If it where used, then the agent would never even see 
    the SINGLE_STEP when loadClass() is entered, therefore no 
    notifyFramePop() would be done, and we would not be relying on this code 
    in handleFramePopEvent(). Instead, we would receive the next SINGLE_STEP 
    event after cp resolution is complete, and we are finally executing the 
    now resolved opc_new opcode.
    
    I'm hoping Serguei and/or Alex can also comment on this, since I think 
    they were dealing with JvmtiHideSingleStepping() last month.
    
    thanks,
    
    Chris

handleMethodEnterEvent() re-enabled stepping and the first bytecode upon 
entering the current method requires resolving constant pool entry. In this

also a filtered class the single stepping is getting disabled again 
(stepControl.c :593).  When loadClass() exits a notifyFramePop() is called on 
the loadClass() frame but due to condition fromDepth >= afterPopDepth  at 
stepControl.c :346 (that doesn't hold in this case, in this case fromDepth is 1 
and afterPopDepth  is 4) the notifyFramePop() fails to enable single stepping 
back. The fix removes the excessive condition fromDepth >= afterPopDepth  in 
notifyFramePop() method (stepControl.c:346)  to ensure that when a method cal!
