JDK 9 RFR of JDK-8156595: java/io/pathNames/GeneralWin32.java fail intermittently on windows-x64

[Paul Sandoz]

Hi Amy,

I lack the context here so it feels like one is treating the symptoms rather than the cause.

Perhaps it would be better to ensure this test never runs concurrently? is that possible? i believe we did something like that for the streams tests.

Or perhaps the test should isolate it’s data via a temporary directory?

Paul.
