trouble passing JVM startup options using JTREG

Hi Ramki,

I think you need to specify "-jdk:<your_java_home>" option to jtreg:

/home/ramki/9dev/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jdk/bin/java 
-jar /home/ramki/jtreg/lib/jtreg.jar -verbose:all 
*-jdk:/home/ramki/9dev/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jdk* 
/home/ramki/9dev/hotspot/test/gc/g1/TestEagerReclaimHumongousRegionsClearMarkBits.java 


More information about test execution you can find in the .jtr file 
created in JTWork/gc/g1/ folder.

Thanks,
Dima
