RFR: Fix jtreg test java/lang/ProcessBuilder/Basic.java

[Volker Simonis]

You probably also wanted to post this URL to your webrev :)

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~asiebenborn/jtreg_ProcessBuilder/webrev/

In general, how should we proceed with fixes for portola? Just post
webrevs or do you expect us to open bugs in JBS for every issue?

Thanks,
Volker
