Right, I've seen this before ( bug in JDK that causes deadlock, set 
small timeout on test so doesn't block for too long before being 
interrupted by jtreg). But if these tests ever fail then it means we 
have a problem, the small timeout is just not necessary at all in a JDK 
that doesn't have the issue being tested for.

Maybe this would be a good place to start and eliminate some of the low 
hanging fruit ;-)
