Several tests on arguments crashed on Windows32 platform in promotion testing of jdk8-b92. Each test failed twice on two different hosts.

Test names:
gc/arguments/TestCMSHeapSizeFlags.java
gc/arguments/TestParallelHeapSizeFlags.java
gc/arguments/TestSerialHeapSizeFlags.java

Surprisingly I did not manage to reproduce it. But minidumps were generated.
