Peter,

Thanks for looking into this.

I'll in the middle of reviewing your change (and TLR/SplittableRandom 
reply), but have several appointments over the next few days.

But did want to respond to:

They've been failing for a while:

     https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8039280

These tests are all "/manual" so they don't show up in our regular runs 
of JPRT/jtreg, which include -a.

     -a | -automatic | -automagic
                 Any test with /manual will not be run

Thanks,

Brad
