JDK-8169569 - TEST_BUG: tests under java/rmi/activation/** failed due to "timeout creating child process"
Description
java/rmi/server/RMISocketFactory/useSocketFactory/activatable/UseCustomSocketFactory.java
This test fails intermittently with "timeout creating child process".

JDK-7004076 also reported this test failed, but with "java.rmi.NotBoundException: EchoServer"

See recent failure log as below, run in concurrency mode:
