Alan, Chris, Thanks for reviewing this change. However, before the push I tested it again and found out that there is a small number of Linux machines on which both tests fail. The only thing I found to be in common between these machines was the version of the Linux kernel. Machines with the 3.10.0 kernel on board failed these tests. The converse is also true. That is, if these tests failed, the machine's kernel was 3.10.0.
I understand that there might be no causal relationship between those facts. For example, it could be the case that machines with this kernel are configured (e.g. network) differently. However, from what I've seen (`ifconfig` and `sysctl` output) it doesn't seem to be the case. Unless there are better suggestions I propose to skip these tests on 3.10.0 kernels. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~prappo/8210493/webrev.02/ What do you think? -Pavel
