RFR: 8143121: javax/management/remote/mandatory/loading/MethodResultTest.java fails intermittently

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi Alexander,

This looks a bit dangerous to me - it could create a busy loop
if for some reason the connection can never go through.

I would suggest retrying only once (or retrying a fixed number
of times) - and possibly introducing a small delay (Thread.sleep)
before retrying.

best regards,
