This failure first showed up in our Tier4 testing. It looks like
that tier's task definition includes these options:

-XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:ArchiveRelocationMode=1 
-Xlog:cds=debug -XX:NativeMemoryTracking=detail


The task itself is named: tier4-rt-cds-relocation.

I don't know if there are plans to publish the tiered testing
task definitions.
