Jie has been discussing another one on beans-dev in the last few days. 
#1 would likely avoid at least some whack-a-mole but it might be 
beneficial to others to have more tests capable of running with -Xcomp. 
I assume trying more test areas will lead to #3, if nothing else but to 
exclude tests that run too slowing in that mode. In any case, the patch 
to the RMI test looks okay.
