java.lang.Error: Expected VM to crash

This part of the test looks suspicious to me:

// This should guarantee to throw:
// java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit
try {
    Object[] oa = new Object[Integer.MAX_VALUE];
    throw new Error("OOME not triggered");
} catch (OutOfMemoryError err) {
    throw new Error("OOME didn't abort JVM!");
}

Escape analysis can eliminate the allocation altogether.

This started failing with https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8321550 according to [~mikael].
