Running as we speak, results in about 2 days.

I am much encouraged by the fact that it passed all the compiler and lang tests and got
through the jdk tests without a segfault. This is a vast improvement!

Does anyone have the results for Zero (not HotSpot) on x86? I did try running jtreg on
my Zero x86 build but it fell over in jdk after about 1000 tests. My x86 build may be broken.

I won't wait for the jtreg results before checking in the bug fixes, but I do want to
just check the build is sane.
