The regression test (testbase_nsk) nsk/regression/b4294774 causes crash
of the HotSparc Client VM (build 1.3-S) on Solaris.

The test creates huge multidimensional array (int array[][] = new int[50000000][];)
and expects to catch the OutOfMemoryError, but the HotSparc VM
crashes instead of this.

This test has been developed on the base of the 4294774 bugreport
(4294774 (P3/S5) Creating huge multidimensional array crashes Hotspot).
According to the current state of the bugreport this bug had been fixed and
integrated in kestrel release on Dec 16 1999 10:31AM.

To reproduce the bug run doit.sh in
/net/sqesvr/vsn/GammaBase/Bugs/<this bug number>.

The first parameter for doit.bat should be JDK root directory
(e.g. /usr/local/java/jdk1.3/solaris) and the second parameter is
VM option(s) (optional).

The Classic VM (Solaris) passes the test as well as
HotSpot 2.0rc1-I and 1.3fcs-S on win32.
