Sponsor Request: 8241097: java/math/BigInteger/largeMemory/SymmetricRangeTests.java requires -XX:+CompactStrings

[Andrew Leonard]

Hi,
Please can I get a sponsor and reviews for the following "patch" to the 
SymmetricRangeTests.java test, for bug 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8241097
patch: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aleonard/8241097/webrev.00/

The current testcase makes the assumption that -XX:+CompactStrings is the 
default, which it is for Hotspot, but that's not necessarily true for all 
JVM providers.

Thank you
Andrew
