Could you elaborate on this, please? In 
http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/tag-spec.txt the "driver" action is not

The tests also used to fail intermittently due to timing issues, e.g.JDK-7091195  <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7091195>  andJDK-6542634  <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-6542634>. In order to make tests more stable and make sure all combinations of arguments are tested the test will be refactored using jdk.testlibrary functionality.
