Okay I think I get it now. Both MonitorTest and WaitersTest use the
Context class, so if both tests run in the same VM the second test
will see the static total_turns_taken and "turn" in the state they
were left from the first test - hence the second test will always
fail. The bug report suggests making the tests othervm to avoid the
problem but instead you have changed from using static state to
instance state so that there is no interference.
I haven't been following this one closely but I thought that jtreg
created a class loader for each test (irrespective of mode) so I
wouldn't expect statics to be an issue.
That aside DemoRun forks off its own JVM to run a given test anyway!
So I don't understand how the proposed fixes could actually be
addressing the hangs that are occurring. Even if the statics were being
shared I don't see how that leads to the failure mode in the bug report.
