Ok. However, since you can't reproduce the initial problem it's hard to say if this will fix it. You would need to remove it from the problem list with this PR and see what happens.

Earlier you said:

So I suppose in that case it's ok if this one test case allows for no OOME just as long as other test cases still require it.
