I thought about dealing with TEST.ROOT in a separate bug but that just seems 
like busy-work. Updating the problem list is at least as much about making sure 
that the testing configurations between jdk8 and jdk7u are brought closer 
together as much as it is about RMI, so updating TEST.ROOT is part of that.

I've refreshed jdk7u's TEST.ROOT from jdk8's and adjusted the bug accordingly.

Here's the webrev:
