See example in attachment. I tested it on my solaris-i586 for JDK7b74.

Here is run string:
/net/vmsqe.russia/export/jdk/re/7/promoted/ea/b74/binaries/solaris-i586/fastdebug/bin/java -server -Xmixed -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC -Xmx8M -XX:+DoEscapeAnalysis -cp /export/home/lm153972/NetBeansProjects/Tests/build/classes tests.Main

Here is the result for product:
should not reach here
final
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
at tests.Main.eatMemory(Main.java:40)
at tests.Main.main(Main.java:71)


Here is the result (for fastdebug):
