Description
Reincarnation of 6227246.

Using -XX:UseOSErrorReporting should create both hs_err log file and a windows crash dump.

Steps to Reproduce

Take the example from 
http://blogs.sun.com/poonam/entry/windows_crash_dumps_for_java
(also found in the attachment)

If you run it with fastdebug 6u11 you get hs_err log file and a windows crash dump
java 
jdk1.6.0_11\fastdebug\bin\java -XX:+UseOSErrorReporting test

If you run product jvm - only hs log file is created
jdk1.6.0_11\bin\java -XX:+UseOSErrorReporting test
Expected: hs err log file and windows crash dump are created as in fastdebug
