sun/tools/jstatd/TestJstatdDefaults.java and sun/tools/jstatd/TestJstatdServer.java fail because jstatd process just print out the exception and keep running. The attept to verify with jps if jstatd is up an running fails:

./bin/jps <hostname>
RMI Server JStatRemoteHost not available

The test will hang forever. The failure is 100% reproducible.
