Summary: Debugger queues threads during a breakpoint

Initial Comment:
It appears that a countless number of threads build up
if DrJava sits idle at a breakpoint for a long period
of time.  If you leave it overnight or over a weekend,
an OutOfMemory exception will occur, and the system
might not even behave properly (being unable to spawn
any new threads).

I'm not sure what's causing this, but one guess would
be an RMI thread on one JVM or the other which can't
finish its task while the breakpoint is hit.  If such a
thread is spawned repeatedly, it could result in this
behavior.  (Maybe it's a thread that regularly checks
if the other JVM is still around?)  It's important to
disable whatever is causing this while anything in the
InterpreterJVM is suspended.
