Hi Dan, Alan,

This is a trivial change to use /dev/null instead of NUL for Windows test with Cygwin. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~chegar/7076756/webrev.00/webrev/ Thanks, -Chris.

I'm good with the change, but the bug report itself is less than clear.

I run these tests all the time on WinXP/Cygwin so I'm guessing that there is more going on here than meets the eye. I'm going to guess that the '-samevm' option is the enabler for this failure mode. The failure mode that you fixed should also affect tests other than BreakpointWithFullGC.sh so I'm not quite sure why this issue appears with just that test. Or maybe it does appear with other tests, but again the bug report isn't clear.

In any case, thumbs up on the change.

Dan
