RFR(xxs): 8227035: JVM::printFlags fails in native OOM situations

[gerard ziemski]

hi Thomas,

Looks good, thank you for fixing this.

Can you please share any details, in what situation you ran into a 
problem with this code? I'd like to know, so in the future I could maybe 
test out such a scenario on my own?


cheers
