Hi David,

I was trying to be conservative to only filter out the "vm warnings" 
particularly for this
test failure. The webrev has been updated as suggested to filter out any 
line with
"VM warning".

The reason I did not try to turn "PrintSafepointStatisticsCount" back on 
(to reproduce) is that it was
not included in the changeset published in JDK-8196739 as
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/74be5b4ed152

It appears the reason I failed to reproduce LeadingGarbage.java is the 
test in my repo does not forward
the vm options (I'm not sure why the test forwards those vm options in 
your repo). I have updated the test
case to use the new test.lib (it was using the "old" jdk.testlibrary), 
and forward the vmoptions (this one
should have nothing to do with old libs or new libs though)

Now the failure is reproducible and has been fixed with new method in 
OutputAnalyzer.java.

webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~sherman/8196748/webrev

(arguments.cpp will not be put back, just to help reproduce)

Thanks,
Sherman
