See issue for more bread-crumbs. I think this is generally a test bug for vmTestbase GC tests that run on the brink of OOME. `MemoryEaterMT` intermittently fails with Shenandoah and G1 on our machines. So I believe we should fix this as testbug.

Additional testing:
 - [x] Linux AArch64 server fastdebug, `MemoryEaterMT` with `-XX:+UseShenandoahGC`, 10x, now passes 
 - [x] Linux AArch64 server fastdebug, `MemoryEaterMT` with default (G1) GC, 10x, now passes
 - [ ] Linux AArch64 server fastdebug, `all` with default (G1) GC, still passes
