That process is also handling the output from SA over a pipe, but when that pipe fills up the process cannot empty it and the SA process is blocked because it cannot write any more output. Deadlock."

Dmitry Samersoff has already created a test application for such cases so I've decided to move it on the top level library instead of duplicating it. The test application will reside under test/lib/share/classes/jdk/test/lib/apps and the test under test/lib-test/jdk/test/lib/apps.
