- * @summary ThreadGroup accounting mistake possible with failure of Thread.start()
+ * This test is relatively useful for verifying 6379235, but
+ * is too resource intensive, especially on 64 bit systems,
+ * to be run automatically, see 6721694.
+ *
+ * When run it should be typically be run with the server vm
+ * and a relatively small java heap, and a large stack size
+ * ( to provoke the OOM quicker ).
