Hi Roger,

Looks good to me. If it were my own test I would add a little
Thread.sleep() after System.gc() to actually give time to the
gc to do something.

I have to note however that:

 83         final long ERROR_PERCENT = 10;
84 final long ERROR_THRESHOLD = // 10% increase over min to passing max 85 startHandles + ((startHandles + ERROR_PERCENT - 1) / ERROR_PERCENT);

is a bit misleading. IMO it only works because ERROR_PERCENT = 10; and
10 * 10 = 100; If you change it to ERROR_PERCENT = 1; for instance, then
you end up with allowing 100% of errors (and not 1%).

cheers,

Please review a test improvement to avoid counting unexpected handles.
The test for 8239893[1]failed when non-test activities used handles.

The test is modified to do a warmup phase spawning some processes and cleaning up. It then runs the test to create processes looking for no significant increase in handles. The execution mode is limited to the interpreter to avoid potential side effects of compilation. The error condition was corrected to look only for increases in the number of handles. Previously, it looked for a 10% delta between the minimum and maximum count of handles.
