The HotSpot Server VM (build 1.4.0-beta_refresh-b75, mixed mode) takes too
long time for nsk/regression/b4249840 test execution on Solsparc
and therefore the test fails by timeout when running under Tonga.

On other platforms (win, solx86, linux-i386) the test passes as well
as it passes under the HotSpot Client VM on Solsparc and it
takes within 50 seconds for execution.

But the build 1.4.0-beta_refresh-b75 takes about 1 hour for this
test execution in "-server" mode.

Such behavior of b4249840 test happens starting with the build 1.4.0-beta-b59.

The build 1.4.0-beta-b58 passes the b4249840 test and it takes
about 45 seconds for the test execution in "-server" mode.
