Only MH intrinsic allocation failures force the VM to terminate. Native wrappers are not required to continue execution. They can still get generated after GC has done its work and the other spaces are available again. I only wanted to use the NonNMethod space in emergency situations when the VM has no alternative. If we use it more often, it may get full, too, and then we wouldn't have any free space at all.
