I'm good with the change, but the bug report itself is less than clear.

I run these tests all the time on WinXP/Cygwin so I'm guessing
that there is more going on here than meets the eye. I'm going to
guess that the '-samevm' option is the enabler for this failure
mode. The failure mode that you fixed should also affect tests
other than BreakpointWithFullGC.sh so I'm not quite sure why
this issue appears with just that test. Or maybe it does appear
with other tests, but again the bug report isn't clear.

In any case, thumbs up on the change.

Dan
