> The test searches for "JShellToolProvider" in the main thread's stack trace, > which is pulled from an SA heap dump. Typically the main thread is blocked in > Object.wait(), so SA can determine its stack trace. However, the wait has a > 100ms timeout, so the thread does periodically wake up and does a few things > before waiting again. If SA tries to get the stack trace while the thread is > active, it may not be able to, and this causes the test to fail. I determined > this only happens about 1 in 5000-10000 runs.

I also bumped up the amount of time the test waits before > doing the heap dump from 2 seconds to 4 just to make absolutely sure the main > thread is fully started before doing the heap dump.
