RFR 9: 8086117: java/lang/Runtime/exec/LotsOfOutput.java still fails intermittently with Process consumes memory

[Peter Levart]

Hi Roger,

I don't know how the tests are executed in your environment, but is it 
possible that, while you're running the test in a shared VM, some other 
concurrent activity allocates from heap and that the test fails because 
of that and not because of Process.exec() at all?

Regards, Peter
