RFR(xs): 8161552: Test issue: VM init failed: GC triggered before VM initialization completed. Try increasing NewSize, current value 768K.

[Zoltán Majó]

Hi Dima,


thank you for taking care of this issue, your changes look generally 
good to me. But I would be interested in whether you plan to 
un-quarantine the two tests that originally failed:

gc/arguments/TestParallelHeapSizeFlags.java
gc/TestSmallHeap.java

If yes, can you maybe do that with the current changeset? If not, can 
you please explain why?

Thank you!

Best regards,


Zoltan
