trouble passing JVM startup options using JTREG

[Jonathan Gibbons]

Ramki,

jtreg is not involved at that point in time. It has launched the test, 
and the test code is running.

When you say  "I have confirmed this through prints in the JVM code 
base.", are you sure you are checking the right JVM?  There are at least 
3 JVMs running at the same time in your setup: you have a JVM running 
jtreg; you have a JVM running the test, and the test is launching a JVM 
of its own through the ProcessTools library.
