These 2 tests crash on the solaris x86 & windows, they fail on the linux and pass on the solaris-sparc. It looks the their failure have same reason. They fails during array comparison for the hs 17 b03 in the jdk7b74 only. The server & Xcomp should be used to reproduce failures.

The tests are:
java/lang/annotation/UnitTest.java
java/util/Arrays/ArrayObjectMethods.java
