Since JVM immediately aborts upon starting up, almost all Y2K tests and a great number of
JCK api/lang tests are failing consequently.

This problem is limited to "-client -Xcomp" ONLY, other switches or switch combinations
will work fine.

To see a list of these failing testcases which involve with Y2K, JCK lang/api testsuites, point

Run the following script to reproduce this problem:
