Evaluation
Jdb is setting a breakpoint at an invokestatic bytecode.  The VM safepoints, then deopts at this same bytecode. 

AbstractInterpreter::continuation_for() is confused. It chooses the wrong tos type: vtos based on _breakpoint, instead of itos based on _invokestatic.  The continuation state is wrong, so deopt_entry() returns the wrong entry point and hijinks ensue.
