Description Darin Wright CLA 2001-12-06 16:36:14 EST 
On Linux, when a user steps out of a main method, the VM throws a disconnected 
exception. This does not happen on other platforms. The result is that an error 
dialog appears describing the "VMDisconnect" exception, but there are no bad 
side effects (the debug target then appears as terminated, as expected).

Unsure of good fix, as this is a special case of "if stepping out of main, and 
on Linux, ignore disconnect exception". 

Problem occurred on IBM 1.3.0 VM cx130-20010502.

Problem does not occurr on JDK1.4

Does the VM really disconnect when you step out of main, or does it disconnect 
when there are no more running threads? It actually doesn't seem unreasonable 
to disconnect in the latter case.

Easiest fix: Add a "Print stack trace on VM disconnect" option and clear it by 
default.
