RFR : 8029347 : sun/rmi/runtime/Log/checkLogging/CheckLogging.java fails in nightly intermittently

[Seán Coffey]

Recent jdk8 builds seem to be more ambitious on the GC front. It turns 
out that we've no strong reference for the Logger being created in this 
testcase and it's collected before use.

Verified that test now passes.

suggested fix :
