What David said. :)
One other wrinkle: I ProblemList-ed the test a few days ago[1] in
jdk/jdk. AFAICT, that change is not yet in jdk/hs, so the changes
David's pushing can't be used to take the test back off of the
ProblemList. I figure I'll have to file a new issue, to be fixed in
jdk/jdk (unless someone has a better idea).
Thanks,

IIRC Brent instrumented the localref methods to see how many were being
created, and the "50" gives us sufficient capacity. The actual number of
local refs introduced seems to be platform and locale specific.
Note this only affects the warnings that -Xcheck:jni produces (at least
on hotspot). If more properties are added that take us beyond the new
capacity then we'll see test failures again and can increase it further.

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,
