[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] RFR: 8028539: Endless loop in native code of sun.java2d.loops.ScaledBlit

[Jim Graham]

The fix looks fine.  Isn't there a timeout you can set on the unit test 
rather than rolling your own inside the test?  Also, even if you 
interrupt the test, if the failure mode is an infinite loop in native 
code then the VM you are running in is probably not going to be happy. 
That only happens when the test fails, but is it worth running in a 
separate VM just in case?
