Description
In the test 

java/lang/Runtime/exec/StreamsSurviveDestroy.java

Thread.sleep(100) is insufficient on slow sparc machines in -Xcomp mode. For instance, on vm-b1600s-1.sfbay the test fails like this (a couple of attempts might be needed to reproduce):

/net/sqenfs-1.sfbay/export1/comp/vm/jdk/hsx/16/pit/b06/jdk7b65/product/solaris-sparcv9/bin/java -d64 -server -Xcomp -XX:-PrintVMOptions StreamsSurviveDestroy

Increasing sleep time to 1000 helps.
Comments
SUGGESTED FIX At the start of each test that uses a fixed delay, add a loop until both of the test threads have actually been started before attempting the various thread interruptions. - Thread.sleep(100); + do { + Thread.sleep(100); + } while (!cp1.isAlive() && !cp2.isAlive()); +

EVALUATION Fixed sleep time interval may be insufficient on slower machines.
