Description
The java/lang/RuntimeTests/exec/ExecWithDir test forks 500 subprocesses hoping to trigger an intermittent problem fixed in 2002.

The test can be removed, it does not exercise the condition it was created for.
Comments
Fix Request (17u): Should get backported for parity with 17.0.4-oracle. It's not recognized as clean backport, but a trivial change (file removal).
