do we need sun.misc.VM?

 When running Hotjava, I now (read the email I'm going to send in a few
minutes!) see this:

Failed to locate native function:
        sun/misc/VM.getState()I
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError
        at sunw/hotjava/misc/ResourceManager.internalCreate(88)
        at sunw/hotjava/misc/ResourceManager.getManager(80)
        at sunw/hotjava/misc/ResourceManager.create(72)
        at sunw/hotjava/Main.main(144)

So, hotjava is calling into sun.misc?
As that's supposed to work with every 1.1.x complaint JVM?

Of course, if could be that this ResourceManager of theirs only calls
into sun/misc/VM under certain (unknown) conditions...
Note that sun/misc/VM.getState()I is native.

So, shall we implement the native methods of sun/misc/VM.getState()I in
some kind of compatibility library?

Or shall we ask Sun how come that they rely on sun.misc shit in
Hotjava?
