Well, this is the problem with jtreg. A regression suite should have 0
failures.

I have rerun the original, pre patched source on hotspot jtreg and get
the following results

Test results: passed: 1,493; failed: 45; error: 100

So, all we can say is that it is no worse after your patch.

All the best,
