jtreg tests don't use System.exit!

Hmmm... that's  generally true, but this is a test that must be run as
"othervm" so this style of exit with the "+ exit_delta" logic has been
used for these kinds of stress tests. I think this style came from the
VMTestbase tests and I've used it with other stress tests.

Hmmm... this is a legacy style/approach that is not necessary any more. If the test fails it should throw an exception from the main thread and that will produce a non-zero exit value. I think seeing this legacy style in new tests will just confuse people.

YMMV.

Cheers,
David
