The version of jtreg available on cloudbees.com has the following entry 
in its MANIFEST.MF,

     jtreg-Build: tip

and jtreg is naively assuming it to be of the form
     jtreg-Build: b<integer>

I can make jtreg be more tolerant, but I also also note that the binary 
is missing lib/asmtools.jar, which is required by some tests.  The 
contents of the tar bundle are all dated 25 January 2016, 10:47 which is 
somewhat suspicious.
