EVALUATION There is some question about our ability to reliably generate this information given multiple exit paths in the VM itself, not counting what a native agent can do. At the Java level some of this functionality could be implemented using BCI. For example, System.exit() could be instrumented. We are likely to close this bug as "will not fix".
