Codereview request: 6980984 java/lang/management/MemoryMXBean/MemoryManagement is not robust when getMax() returns -1

[shanliang]

Hi,

The bug was reproduced only on jdk6 on my Mac, but well passed on 7/8/9.

We can have several solutions, like to use:
    Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory()
    Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory;

    MemoryUsage.getCommitted()

or hard-code chunkSize to be 1M.

I found that the test ran much faster with:
    chunkSize = Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()/10;
than:
    chunkSize = 1M;
