It's not about the test code, but about the JSSE impl.  The JSSE impl 
uses a lot of singleton static fields for performance.  Once these 
fields are initialized, they may impact other test cases.

In JSSE test cases, we always run in othervm mode, and put a comment 
like (See test/javax/net/ssl/templates/SSLSocketTemplate.java):

// SunJSSE does not support dynamic system properties, no way to re-use
// system properties in samevm/agentvm mode.
