Hello Roger, given what's explained in the JBS issue, this change looks 
reasonable to me. I just have one test related comment which I've added inline.

test/jdk/java/lang/ProcessBuilder/PipelineLeaksFD.java line 54:

Is there something in this test (or even `java.lang.Process`) that makes 
running this test in interpreted mode a necessity?
