The roots array we are creating during the dump time can easily be larger than the min region alignment. We are currently "lucky" none of our tests hit this limit. AFAICS, about 128K classes would be enough to hit the current 1M min region alignment. Dropping the min region alignment to 256K starts to fail the test with "only" 30K classes, [JDK-8338856](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8338856).

I don't quite understand the Windows `DeterministicDump` failure. Is there anything specific about CDS and Windows that makes it only fail there?
