Problem with vmoptions versus javaoptions

[Martin Buchholz]

Hi David,

I tried adding
 '-javaoptions:-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseJVMCICompiler
-Xcomp'
to my jtreg invocation, and it worked!  I can tell something changed
because my test (FJExceptionTableLeak!) ran much more slowly!
I suspect shell quoting misstep.
