> Hi all,
> 
> The test runtime/Thread/ThreadCountLimit.java was observed fails when run with other tests. The test start subprocess with [shell prefix command](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/Thread/ThreadCountLimit.java#L82) `ulimit -u 4096` which intend to limite the usage of thread number. But this will cause test fails when this test run with other tests. I create a demo to demonstrate that.
> 
> I start a java process which will create 5k threads, and then I can not start new java process with prefix `ulimit -u 4096` on the same machine.

> So it's necessary to make this test run sperately to make this test success.
> Change has been verified locally, test-fix only, risk is low.
