How to specity the -agentlib option in a jtreg test?

[Jonathan Gibbons]

jtreg should report the command it is trying to execute in the "rerun" 
section.

If you execute that command directly, does it work?   In other words, 
can you isolate the problem to jtreg or to the execution of the command 
that jtreg execs?
