The fix looks right. 
The PR should include a test.  Can you write a standalone test in 
jdk/test/java/lang/ProcessBuilder/... to confirm the fix.
Possibly it could be added to Basic.java but that file is pretty large and 
doesn't seem like the correct place to add.
It may be sufficient to invoke echo with that 3rd argument and verify the 
output.
