[Erik Helin]

Christian,

thanks for reviewing this! See comments inline:

The latest webrev (based on the feedback by Stefan), is available here:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ehelin/8004691/webrev.01/

This change moves the test to the hotspot/test/sanity folder and does 
_not_ make use of a folder named after the bugid.

What do you think of this change?

Thanks,
Erik
