JavaTest Message: Test complete.

result: Error. Agent error: java.lang.Exception: Agent 8 timed out with a timeout of 480 seconds; check console log for any additional details

Recent failures in mach5 still have essentially no useful debugging information being captured. The subprocess involved appears to have already died/finished/whatever, so we don't get any stack information to suggest where the test was at or why the timeout occurred.

The failure still happens. Not clear why it is closed as a dup of 8205526. The test should be changed to othervm or fixed.

After accounting for recent changes in timeout handling, this appears to be a duplicate of JDK-8205526.
