test result: Error. Error while cleaning up threads after test

On further examination, this test (and others based on ByteServer) can be simplified as they don't require multiple threads to create the conditions that the tests require.

Root Cause: The test is based on bad assumption that ByteServer thread is started within 1 second before sel.select(TIMEOUT) is called. (TIMEOUT=1000). Suggested Fix: Make sure the server is started before the call sel.select(TIMEOUT).

I'm resolving this bug as incomplete as we need much more information about the environment (OS version in particular). Also some evidence to explain why it submitted a test bug - I ask this because if this test is failing then it may indicate a JDK or OS issue.
