Hello all;

This issue is a follow-on bug fix to JDK-8041151 (Improve hgforest.sh concurrency). That 
changeset introduced use of fifos for monitoring sub-shell completion and included an 
alternative implementation for configurations which did not properly support fifos. This 
changeset detects another unsupported configuration, older shells which run the 
"read" command using a sub-shell.

I've tested the change on Solaris 10u11, Solaris 11u1, Ubuntu Linux 13.10 x64, 
MacOS 10.9. Of these only the Bash 3.2 shell on Solaris 10u11 does not support 
FIFOs. I have not tested this specific change on Cygwin as FIFOs were already 
disabled on Cygwin.

Is either your test harness or your test cases available for general consumption in order that I might try them out and thus test and I trust confirm, the fix, on AIX (and indeed z/OS) please ?
