The regression test (testbase_nsk) nsk/regression/regresab37 fails
under the HotSpot Client VM (build 1.3.0rc1-S) on win32.

The test generates the Process by the
runtime.exec(command, environment[]) method, where command is
"jdb regresab37a". In 15 seconds the test destroys the Process
and then tries to read from the Process OutputStream. After
successful reading of few bytes the read() method hangs.

The test does not hang if System.exit() method is called
in the regresab37a class.

To reproduce the bug run doit.bat on win32 in
/net/sqesvr/vsn/GammaBase/Bugs/<this bug number>.

The first parameter for doit.bat should be JDK root directory
(e.g. L:/java/jdk1.3/win32) and the other parameter(s) -
VM option(s) (optional).

The doit.bat file contains the variables which must be tuned :

The JDB_COMMAND variable defines the executed JDB
(e.g. L:/java/jdk1.3/win32/bin/jdb).

The OUT_SIZE_LIMIT variable defines the number of bytes to read
from the Process OutputStream. For OUT_SIZE_LIMIT=-1 the number
of bytes is not limited. For OUT_SIZE_LIMIT=-2 the number
of bytes is not limited too and the output.read() method tracing
is turned on. This helps to find out on which byte the
hanging happens.

If the reading from the OutputStream completes successfuly
the reading from the ErrorStream hangs.
Therefore there is the ERROR_SIZE_LIMIT variable in the doit.bat file
which is similar to the OUT_SIZE_LIMIT variable.

The same results are produced under the HotSpot Server VM
(2.0merlin, mixed mode, build A) on Win32.

The HotSpot Client VM (build 1.3.0rc1-S, interpreted mode) on Solaris
runs the test perfectly. To run the test on Solaris use doit.sh.
