Peter,
I've added the label "noreg-hard" with the comment to the report.
It is not easy to reproduce the issue and demonstrate the fix in a
regression test.
Thanks,
Serguei

Summary:
This change addresses an issue in the Attach API on Solaris, Linux
and BSD where an attaching application can receive IOExceptions such
as "Bad file number" (Solaris), "Connection refused" (Linux/BSD), or
"well-known file is not secure".
The attach process uses a file in the temporary directory as a door
(Solaris) or domain socket (Linux,BSD) to communicate with the VM. In
certain circumstances stale files can be left in the file system
which can cause the attaching application to believe that the VM is
ready to receive a connection when it's not. With this change the
stale file will be removed during VM startup.
Note that there is still an issue if we don't have permission to
remove the stale file, the attaching process will fail to connect.
Testing:
JPRT, reproducing script on Solaris, Linux.
