Comments
Adding comment on behalf of Jonathan Dowland who is not an OpenJDK Author (yet): Fix Request (OpenJDK 8u): Please approve backporting this to jdk8u. This is a test-only change, for parity with Oracle 8uXXX. The patch applies clean to jdk8-dev/jdk. The test passes for me prior and after applying this patch.

Actual error: ----------System.err:(23/1583)---------- java.lang.IllegalThreadStateException: process hasn't exited at java.lang.ProcessImpl.exitValue(java.base@9-internal/ProcessImpl.java:525) at Basic.realMain(Basic.java:2412) at Basic.main(Basic.java:2709) at jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(java.base@9-internal/Native Method) at jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(java.base@9-internal/NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(java.base@9-internal/DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(java.base@9-internal/Method.java:537) at com.sun.javatest.regtest.agent.MainWrapper$MainThread.run(MainWrapper.java:110) at java.lang.Thread.run(java.base@9-internal/Thread.java:844) So waitFor(8) has timed out and we proceeded to call exitValue() while the process is still alive.

It appears that the system was overloaded with a load average of 14. Processes: 203 total, 7 running, 7 stuck, 189 sleeping, 1824 threads 2016/10/21 11:30:17 Load Avg: 14.02, 10.94, 6.92 CPU usage: 69.62% user, 17.72% sys, 12.65% idle The test could be modified to be more lenient on process termination. (Currently expects a process to be destroyed in 8 seconds). It would have failed with a different exception if it takes longer than 7 seconds.
