-   56  * that both fields 'falure_waste' and 'failure_used' for
Evacuation Failure statistic

Should be "failure_waste"

- I think the test should specify 
-XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=100 and -XX:-G1UseAdaptiveIHOP to
make sure that evacuation failures happen always.

Otherwise some future ultra-fast computer might be able to catch up
(then again, the test never releases any objects)

Thanks,
  Thomas
