What version of JamVM are you using?  As far as I'm aware, JamVMs
implementation of VMAccessController is complete (it was provided by
Casey Marshall, if I remember correctly).   I've made some recent
changes to the native method that obtains the stack, so it _could_
have broken in 1.4.1.

Do you have a testcase?

Thanks,
