How do we pick the value 50? The JNI local refs are deleted in some
cases and it's unclear how 50 is computed. What if new properties are
added in the future?

Thanks Brent!
I guess I can push these both now.

Hi,
Please review this small change to the System.initProperties() native
method.
The tools/launcher/TestXcheckJNIWarnings.java has begun to fail due
to this warning being issued:
WARNING: JNI local refs: 41, exceeds capacity: 40
at java.lang.System.initProperties(java.base/Native Method)
at java.lang.System.initPhase1(java.base/System.java:1943)
This has only been seen on solaris-sparc with LANG=C. In fact, the
warning can also be seen with a simple HelloWorld program, run with
-Xcheck:jni. This started happening as of JDK-8043224 ("-Xcheck:jni
improvements to exception checking and excessive local refs").
The following change should be made to prevent the warning:

Of note: an additional change is needed, to EnsureLocalCapacity itself:
8193222 : EnsureLocalCapacity() should maintain capacity requests
through multiple calls
That fix has already been proposed and reviewed.
These two fixes should be pushed together via hs, which David has
kindly offered to do, pending code review approval of my change here.
Thanks,
