Pending changes to HotSpot will remove the permanent generation, moving the storage of JVM metadata into the C heap. LowMemoryTest2.sh times out when run with those HotSpot changes.
EVALUATION
The test tries to fill up the permanent generation by loading classes, but they are now stored in the C heap, where space is for most practical purposes unbounded. Exclude the test until it is rewritten (see 7196801).
