Description
The tests in the MISC_REGRESSION suite need to have their minimum
timeout values examined and potentially adjusted. I recommend a
minimum of a 120 second timeout.

Here are my analysis report entries for several of the recently
failing tests:

MISC_REGRESSION

        2007.03.30 Solaris SPARC Client VM (machine vm-b1600s-5)

        Update: Sundar believes the timeout for this test is too low.

*   sun/tools/jstatd/jstatdServerName.sh
        2007.04.03 Solaris SPARC Client VM (machine vm-b1600s-2)
        2007.04.02 Solaris SPARC Server VM (machine aditi)
        2007.03.31 Solaris SPARC Client VM (machine vm-v100-01)
        2007.03.30 Solaris SPARC Client VM (machine vm-b1600s-5)
        2007.03.30 Solaris SPARC Server VM (machine kiang)

For some of the above tests, a timeout is only one of the observed
failure modes, but there isn't a way to associate a type of failure
with a known bugs list entry so this will have to do (for now).
Comments
The change set above fixes sun/tools/jinfo/Basic.sh issue. Other tests have been fixed while working with bugs listed in "relates to".
