The jdk test sun/tools/jinfo/Basic.java is failing in JPRT jobs that run the tools tests and in TL nightly with a NullPointerException because SA hasn't been updated for the new hash code and also for the removal of the String offset/count fields. Attached is an example test failure.

The SA work is tracked by 7175133, this new bug proposes to temporarily skip the options that uses SA so that the test can run. Once SA has been updated then these options can be re-enabled again.
