JDK-8180804 - com/sun/jdi/RedefineCrossEvent.java: timed out
Description
The test:
com/sun/jdi/ExceptionEvents.java
Can fail when a background thread (such as Flight Recorder) throws exceptions since the test is testing for no unexpected exceptions.

The failure is difficult to reproduce but looking at the test sources it is clear that "oracle.*" and "com.oracle.*" should be added to the already existing exclude list.

Failure:
java.lang.Exception: ExceptionEvents(... StackOverflow...) FAILED ... tests!

Comments
We agreed to avoid running the JDI and JVMTI tests with the JFR. So that I'm closing this bug as WNF.

ILW=MLH=P4, Lacking test coverage, only happens with JFR, no known workaround.
