HS 2.0-rc2B (win32) fails against the following JCK 1.2.2 tests:
    vm/instr/frem/drem002/drem00201/drem00201.html
    vm/instr/frem/drem003/drem00301/drem00301.html
when those tests are involved by the stress-test:
    nsk/stress/jck122/jck122007
belonging to the testbase:
    /net/sqesvr/vsn/VM/testbase/testbase_nsk

This failure reproduces very intermittently; however I believe
that it is a bug in HS caused by almost the same problem that
was reported by the similar bug fixed by Christopher Vick:
    4309919 (P4/S4) HS2.0(win32): two JCK frem tests fail in stressed execution

Evaluation for fixing the bug #4309919 was:
    christopher.vick@eng 2000-02-16
    Problems with constant folding.
    Constant folding turned off for frem bytecode.
                                    ^^^^

So, I believe that similar fix is needed also for drem bytecode.

The failure was reproduced when executed with -Xcomp mode:
- under WinNT 4.0 SP4 on Pentium III 550MHz 128Mb RAM, and
- under WinNT 4.0 SP3 on dual Pentium II 2x350MHz 512Mb RAM

To reproduce this failure, try the script 'doit.bat' in the
directory:
