I don't think we want @ignore here as it will cause jtreg to report it 
as an error (unless run with -ignore:quiet). If we are adding the test 
but just not having it run automatically then it might be best to just 
drop the jtreg meta-data completely. Alternatively, if feasible, is to 
dial-down the test so that it runs without requiring a lot of resources, 
but perhaps a second mode for interactive runs that does the full thing.
