From Bill via email:
"Kevin,

Oh, my! But it's been a while.

I finally started to take an actual look at the ODB & JVM changes.

It seems that the Java 8 verifier has a few limitations (aka bugs) that the old one didn't. I understand they are planning on fixing this "feature."

In the meantime, it is sufficient to simply not use the verifier:

alias debug java -noverify -Xms400100100 -Xmx400100100 -DMEMORY=400100100 -cp $HOME/Debugger:. com.lambda.Debugger.Debugger
