RFR: 8233784: ProblemList failing JVMTI scenario tests

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi David, 

we also see these failures in our CI. It is intermittent and on all platforms.
It happens since Nov 4.

We saw the following ones you already listed:
  vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/scenarios/allocation/AP12/ap12t001/TestDescription.java
  vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/scenarios/events/EM02/em02t005/TestDescription.java

Further we saw this one, could you please add it, too?
  vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/scenarios/events/EM07/em07t002/TestDescription.java
It failed once with the same kind of message.

Besides that, the change looks good.

Further we saw these failing, but I'm not sure it's the same issue:
  vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/scenarios/allocation/AP04/ap04t001/TestDescription.java
  vmTestbase/nsk/jvmti/scenarios/allocation/AP04/ap04t002/TestDescription.java
with this message:
