[PATCH] Review Request for 8009258: TEST_BUG: java/io/pathNames/GeneralWin32.java fails intermittently

[Eric Wang]

Hi,

Please review the code change, I have updated the test to make sure test 
only access files and directories created by itself.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ewang/8009258/webrev.01/

Here is the execution result:

Thanks,
Eric
