Unhappy about test/ProblemList.txt

Jonathan is working on some changes to jtreg that may allow many of the
tests on the ProblemList to be removed, I am hopeful anyway.
Once we have that new jtreg available, trimming this list down is next.

I admit to being a little quick to add some tests to the list, it was  
a somewhat
frustrating experience to isolate these things when looking at all 12  
platforms/vms.

I think in this case it was timing out on Solaris sparc and appeared  
to be a stress test.
This test is already marked othervm, so I can only assume that it is  
very close
to the default timeout, looks like a fairly complex testcase, but I see
no reason to not add it back in, maybe I can bump up the timeout on  
this test.

And I had no idea any of these were pets, I assumed they were all  
wild. ;^)
