ProcessHandle/OnExitTest is vulnerable to misconfigured systems that do not reap zombies in a timely fashion. [JDK-8284282](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8284282) describes this problem in detail.

Until we figure out a way to fix that (if at all - see comments in JBS), let us have a clarifying comment in the test itself.
