Description
**Summary**
An upstream bug has been seen in JDK21 (and under) testing at Adoptium.
To solve this, we should request that the fix for that bug be backported.
**Details**
Adoptium test failures were documented [here](https://github.com/adoptium/aqa-tests/issues/4969#issuecomment-1892691485) and [here](https://github.com/adoptium/aqa-tests/issues/4960#issuecomment-1890821702).
These tests were subsequently excluded [here](https://github.com/adoptium/aqa-tests/pull/4965).
These failures look like they were caused by [this OpenJDK bug](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/14942).
We see that this bug has been fixed, and that the fix was merged into JDK22+.
To solve this problem at Adoptium, a backport was proposed in the [General Retrospective for the Adoptium January 2024 releases](https://github.com/adoptium/temurin/issues/13#issuecomment-1890962636).
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the test exclusions in adoptium/aqa-tests#4965 and the failure reports linked from this issue. Compare them with the OpenJDK fix in PR 14942, then verify the affected tests on JDK21 and earlier before re-enabling them. Done means the tests run successfully without the unrecognized VM options failures.
