[9] RFR: 8164922: sun/security/provider/SecureRandom/AutoReseed.java failed with timeout in Ubuntu Linux.

Hi Max,

Here is the updated webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ssahoo/8164922/webrev.01/

I did a minor change other than addressing the following comment. I allowed all the test case to execute irrespective exception thrown.

Thanks,
Siba

Please just use othervm, and remove the finally block. If oldegd is null the code change will change the environment permanently.
