In promotion testing for JDK 9-b05, java/lang/management/MemoryMXBean/LowMemoryTest2.sh failed with the following error message:

Exception in thread "Thread-0" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Metaspace

JDK-8031065 details the exact same failure signature, but should have been fixed in b04. From all available information, the fix for JDK-8031065 was included when running promotion testing for b05, so the problem is not that we ran with an old version of the test.
