EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Does not matter.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Application crashes with: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit
at java.util.Arrays.copyOf(Arrays.java:2271)
at java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream.grow(ByteArrayOutputStream.java:113)
at java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream.ensureCapacity(ByteArrayOutputStream.java:93)
at java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream.write(ByteArrayOutputStream.java:122)

This happens because in ByteArrayOutputStream.grow() Arrays.copyOf is called with Integer.MAX_VALUE
which does not work. The newCapacity should be smaller e.g. Integer.MAX_VALUE - 2 seems to work.



STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Create the following junit test and run it with -Xmx4069m:

  @Test
  public void testByteArrayOutputStream() throws IOException {
    byte[] buf = new byte[0x20000000];
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(0x3fffffff);
    out.write(buf);
    out.write(buf);
  }


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
No crash.
ACTUAL -
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Requested array size exceeds VM limit
