JDK-6955504 - (str) String[Builder/Buffer].append(char[],int,int) throws OutOfMemoryError in b94
Description
The OutOfMemoryError instead IndexOutOfBoundsException was thrown in StringBuffer.append(char[] str, int offset, int len) method when the "offset" and "len" are out of range. 
Same for StringBuilder.append(), StringBuilder.ensureCapacity(), ArrayList.ensureCapacity() methods.
The failure is not reproducible in the JDK 7 b93.
