[7u] review and approval request for 8007515: update RMI tests on ProblemList.txt

[Stuart Marks]

Arrgh, ya caught me! :-) I was aware of this issue but I wanted to leave it out 
of this discussion since it's a potential distraction.

No, jdk-regtest at sun.com (mentioned in the TEST.ROOT file) is not a valid email 
address. At least, it bounced when I tried to send something to it.

I did have a sidebar discussion on this with Jon Gibbons and Alan B recently 
but we didn't come to a conclusion as to what it should be replaced with.

This one actually seems like a separate bug, since it needs to be changed in 8 
(and backported to 7u) instead of just an adjustment to 7u to match 8.
