If we can't duplicate it now, and the output from previously reported 
failures (in 2011) is insufficient to diagnose it properly, then it 
seems reasonable to add better output so as to improve our chances of 
understanding if it fails again. So better output + removing from the 
exclude list seems fine here. (cc'ing serviceability-dev as that is 
actually the mailing list for the HPROF and JVM TI areas).
