Just an FYI that we removed some of the dependency from the the library 
code in JDK 8 so even if you run with +UseVMInterruptibleIO then it 
doesn't do anything in some areas (java.io in particular). The classic 
networking (java.net) needs to be done, it's just that no-one got to it 
in JDK 8. In any case, it's good to see this mis-feature finally going away.
