            Bug ID: 16829
           Summary: Trigger STAPBM_VERBOSE=true automatically when -v's
                    are specified with java probes
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: translator
          Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: lberk at redhat dot com

The stapbm script (handling stap/byteman interaction and setup) has a verbosity
trigger of 'STAPBM_VERBOSE!=no'.  Currently the only way to trigger it, is to
manually set the environment variable when running a script, leaving users that
don't know about it with very little information when java probes aren't
inserted.  This could be avoided if, when enough -v's are triggered (say 2+),
we automatically set and passed the 'STAPBM_VERBOSE=geronimo' variable to
stapbm.  This is particularly useful in cases where stap has been built from
git and a commonly missed step is linking the appropriate helper .jar and .so
