RFR(S): 8058827: XCode 6.0 (Clang) warning "operator new' should not return a null pointer unless..."

[David Chase]

A couple of timeouts, otherwise ignored tests, with the new jtreg.

TEST RESULT: Error. Program `/Users/dr2chase/work/jdk9/build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-fastdebug/images/j2sdk-image/bin/java' interrupted! (timed out?)
TEST RESULT: Error. Test ignored: 7154567
TEST RESULT: Error. Test ignored: 8031978
TEST RESULT: Error. Program `sh' interrupted! (timed out?)
TEST RESULT: Error. Test ignored: 8046268
TEST RESULT: Error. Test ignored: 8046268
TEST RESULT: Error. Test ignored: 8046268
TEST RESULT: Error. Test ignored: 8046268
TEST RESULT: Error. Test ignored: 8046268
TEST RESULT: Error. Test ignored: 8046268
TEST RESULT: Error. Test ignored: 8046268
TEST RESULT: Error. Test ignored: 8046268

But my main goal (and the goal of the bug) is the compilation problem, not random test foolishness
that is invariant across my changes.
