JDK-6859079 - JNI_CreateJavaVM() terminates the process on error condition instead of returning error code
Description
Running the nsk.stress suite on machine with low free space we get many FAILs with:
#Error occurred during initialization of VM
#Could not reserve enough space for object heap

But some of tests from nsk/stress/jck12a nsk/stress/jck60:
(Removed test names to prevent fail_list)

completed with the crash.
We got it on em64t-001.sfbay, but it looks like this is not platform depended problem.
Comments
EVALUATION The message: Error occurred during initialization of VM Could not reserve enough space for object heap Isn't a crash. Maybe it used to be. There are several problems that this bug seems to be referring to, which are documented in other bugs: 6859079: JNI_CreateJavaVM() terminates the process on error condition instead of returning error code This bug reports that we should return JNI_ENOMEM for this "Could not reserve enough space for object heap" We also have: 6302804: Hotspot VM dies ungraceful death when C heap is exhausted in various places. whose title says it all. This bug appears to be either fixed if it's complaining about crashing, or a duplicate of one of the above. I'll pick 6859079.
