* By default, when the invocation completes,
* all threads in the target VM are suspended, regardless their state

* It is possible that
* breakpoints or other events might occur during the invocation.
* This can cause deadlocks as described above. It can also cause a deadlock
* if invokeMethod is called from the client's event handler thread. In this
* case, this thread will be waiting for the invokeMethod to complete and
* won't read the EventSet that comes in for the new event. If this
* new EventSet is SUSPEND_ALL, then a deadlock will occur because no
* one will resume the EventSet. To avoid this, all EventRequests should
* be disabled before doing the invokeMethod, or the invokeMethod should
* not be done from the client's event handler thread.
* <p>
* The resumption of other threads during the invocation can be prevented
* by specifying the {@link #INVOKE_SINGLE_THREADED}
* bit flag in the <code>options</code> argument; however,
* there is no protection against or recovery from the deadlocks
* described above, so this option should be used with great caution.
* Only the specified thread will be resumed (as described for all
* threads above). Upon completion of a single threaded invoke, the invoking thread
* will be suspended once again. Note that any threads started during
* the single threaded invocation will not be suspended when the
* invocation completes.
