Hi,

The java/util/prefs/AddNodeChangeListener.java test fails once in a while in 
the automated test system.  Previous
failures were traced to machine configuration errors, but that does not appear 
to be the case this time.

My efforts to reproduce this failure have been unsuccessful.  The only useful 
infformation I've gleaned so far from the
test failure logs is that the overall duration for running tier1 is longer than 
usual when the test failure happens.

I would like to make the following updates to the test, in hopes of learning 
more if and when this test fails again:

* fail faster, to report if it is addNode() or removeNode() that is failing
* make multiple attempts to sleep+check the NodeChangeListener.  (If the test 
fails after a single sleep, but passes
  after waiting longer, maybe we just need to sleep for longer to account for 
the occasional slower tier1 test run).
* a few indentations fixes

Thanks,
-Brent
