RFR: JDK-8196930 - [Testbug] serviceability/sa/ClhsdbFindPC.java fails to find expected output

[Sharath Ballal]

David,
When I wrote these tests, I looked for the output generated by these commands.  The output I saw was same (across windows, mac, linux) and hence grepped for certain strings from it.
Now we are seeing some issues where depending on the hardware we are at different execution point and hence some of the strings are changing.  So now I am removing such strings from the test.
The main intention of these tests are to check the basic sanity that the SA command is working.

Thanks,
Sharath

I've no doubt this makes the test pass, but I always have to wonder with these tests: why was it looking for the thing now removed? what changed (or in what way was the expected output invalid) to make the test fail?

Thanks,
