Joe, the change looks fine.

Alan, yes, the RMI tests were improving for a while, and then we decided to 
upgrade all our test environments to run the tests concurrently. This increased 
the incidence of intermittent RMI test failures markedly. Some additional fixes 
to the RMI test library are warranted; but now is not the time.
