misc/gc/gctests/ProcessGC test throws "Not enough soace" I/O exception for kestrel 1.3_b15 build on 2.8 (sparc). It is passing on 2.6, 2.7 (sparc/x86) and 2.8 x86.

Note:
=====
Strangely enough it is passing today on a different 2.8 sparc. I did see a couple of intermittant failures on the other 2.8 sparc machine yesterday, but am unable to reproduce them today.
I am attaching the info of the machine on which it fails consistently. It passes consistently with 1.2.2_05 on this machine.
Machine info is in the attached "machine.info" file.
