Thanks, Andy.  Yeah, I remember reading some about that.  I guess I
was hoping the threading/mutex stuff had gotten cleared up.  This
certainly should be a show stopper and I'm sure it will be fun to
track down.  Debugging threaded stuff is fun...  It appears to affect
other things as well, eg mono apps.

Makes sense.  So it is probably safe to say it (gcj-dbtool) just
affects java and related stuff (eclipse, etc).
