This follows from the last two paragraphs of this message: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2013-October/022736.html
The issue is https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8027595. The change is to change "@ test" to "@test" in the affected test files test/java/math/BigInteger/BitLengthOverflow.java test/java/math/BigInteger/DivisionOverflow.java test/java/math/BigInteger/DoubleValueOverflow.java test/java/math/BigInteger/StringConstructorOverflow.java for example /* - * @ test + * @test in all cases.
