Background: The test induces OOM and frees memory when OOMError is thrown. However, there is no guarantee that OOM should happen in the same thread for the test to handle the error. OOM can arise in any thread. This logic makes this test fundamentally unreliable.
Recently, we are seeing issue with VT usage.

This is still useful test to have around. Hence, excluding the test only for VT case.

Testing:
Ran with and without VT thread.
