Due to the fix (which we badly needed) for 4336145, hotspot now dumps
core for any vm_exit_during_initialization even in product mode.
The problem was seen on Kestrel Solaris beta almost b17.
There are times when a core dump is not needed, and inappropriate.
The example found was in mistyping a library name, as in
java -Xrunlibreqevent008 reqevent008 instead of typing
java -Xrunreqevent008 reqevent008
What I got back was:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not find -Xrun library: liblibreqevent008.so
Abort (core dumped)
The request is to split errors into those where a core dump is helpful
and those where it is overkill.
