Correct :).  I may have been amiss in this case though.  The native version
for FreeBSD 4.x needs some final tests that you can only do if you have an
NDA with the Foundation or Sun.  However, the native version for 5.x won't
happen until we can figure out why jdb (and anything else that uses JVMPI
or JVMDI) doesn't like KSEs.  If anyone is interested, thats definitely a
worthwhile project.
