Working upon on assumption that Its getting caused by a race condition due to process spawning introduced..

It could be that the test case modification to 8003846 fix caused this bug. Before the fix, invocations of java processes in PropertiesTest.sh were sequential so that comparing the dump files (dump1, 2, 3) were in the right order. With the fix to 8003846, they are now spawned with "sh" which introduces a race condition.
