Description

The following tests failed:
gc/gctests/Compact/compact017  (gc.gctests.Compact.compact017)
gc/gctests/Compact/compact018  (gc.gctests.Compact.compact018)

The assert triggered below was introduced in the recent fix for 6472335.
It does not indicate a correctness issue (see comments), just a very minor
performance issue.

For example:

#
# An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  Internal Error (/net/prt-solx86-q1-3/PrtBuildDir/workspace/src/share/vm/memory/concurrentMarkSweepGeneration.cpp, 1169), pid=1196, tid=14

It, however, indicated a slight inefficiency in iCMS strobing in that an essentially empty strobe would apply for sufficiently low values of the duty-cycle. In these cases, we now just elide the unnecessary empty strobe entirely. (See some further commentary in the bug report.)
