This patch only modifies gthread-jni.c, the portable-native-sync

1) Improves error reporting from the NEW_TROUBLE macro

2) Fixes an incorrect assumption -- EnterMonitor and ExitMonitor do

this may or may not be a violation of the spec; I'm not sure.)

Steven,

The previous code and the new code both rely on the return value to
determine an error condition.  It's not defined whether or not a JVM
will also raise an exception for a failure here, but I think it is
allowed/possible for any JNI call to do so.
