JDK-6332349 - 44 JCK6.0-runtime tests fails in api/java_rmi/ and api/javax_management/remote/
Description
The java/rmi/transport/pinLastArguments/PinLastArguments.java regression test
was introduced for CR 6332349.

The test expects a particular instance of java.lang.ref.WeakReference to be
cleared following a call to System.gc(). The instance is not being cleared
so an exception gets thrown.
