Description
The following test failed in the jdk/jdk CI:

runtime/CommandLine/OptionsValidation/TestOptionsWithRanges.java

with the following:

test result: Failed. Execution failed: `main' threw exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: 1 tests failed!

Here's a snippet from the log file:

Fix request This fix imporves the test performance nicely. No dangers as it is a pure test fix. Unfortunately it does not apply cleanly, there is a minor difference in the patch context: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk-updates-dev/2018-November/000282.html

I find it strange that this can be intermittent. Makes me wonder what concurrent initialization we are doing that can sometimes trigger premature GC and sometimes not. We must be treading very close to the line with these extreme flag values.
