Yes, the test fails if it doesn't crash.  I was trying to simplify the 
test from the original one that failed in 
jdk/test/java/lang/ClassLoader.  I was going to test the logging output 
but it gets very long and I was afraid of what I want to find would get 
cut off by jtreg.
The PD does get unloaded, it just needs to be cleaned off the _pd_set 
linked list.
