It is not clear to me why only the listed tests are affected by this e.g.

test/hotspot/jtreg/runtime/classFileParserBug/TestEmptyBootstrapMethodsAttr.java

why is every test that uses `ProcessTools.createJavaProcessBuilder` not affected? And should this be something that is handled inside `ProcessTools.createJavaProcessBuilder` rather than in individual tests?

Also is this really intended as a fix for JDK-8275727 because the PR has now been linked to it! This seems a related but differnet issue.

Thanks,
David
