Code review request: 8006564: Test sun/security/util/Oid/S11N.sh fails with timeout on Linux 32-bit

[Weijun Wang]

Here is another version of the webrev:

   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/8006564/webrev.01/

This test can do 3 things:

1. Generate the byte streams in code format.
2. Run in jdk7
3. Run in jdk6

In fact, the output of 1 is included inside the test.

Thanks
Max
