[Daniel D. Daugherty]

Resending with Jesper and Serguei on directly...

Greetings,

It appears that the fix for this bug:

     JDK-4858370 JDWP: Memory Leak: GlobalRefs never deleted when processing
                 invokeMethod command
     https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-4858370

has been causing intermittent test failures in the JDK9-hs-rt nightly.


************************************************************
I need reviews from Jesper Wilhelmsson and Serguei Spitsyn.

This bug is being using to backout JDK-4858370:

     JDK-8153673 [BACKOUT] JDWP: Memory Leak: GlobalRefs never deleted when
                 processing invokeMethod command
     https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8153673

Here is the backout webrev URL:
