Please review a change [1] that fixes an intermittent test timeout. The main logic of the test has this basic structure:
try { // lots of thread state manipulation of target } finally { thread.getLog(); } and as David noticed in his comment ( the last comment in [2] ) if an exception occurs anywhere in the try block we can hang waiting for the join() in getLog() because we haven't executed the logic that tells the thread to terminate. Testing: Running a modified test that explicitly throws a runtime exception inside the try block shows the fix solves the problem. Mach5 tier1-tier3 tests passed. Mach5 tier4-tier5 tests are in progress. [1] http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~dtitov/8081652/webrev.01/ [2] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8081652 Thank you, Daniil
