<Swing Dev> [9] Review Request: 8159899 [TEST_BUG] Timeout in tests when OOM should be generated

[Semyon Sadetsky]

Hi Sergey,

It seems the root cause is in the Util.generateOOME() method from the 
regtesthelpers library. It should take into account the heap maximum 
limit to generate OOME in a reasonable time.

This utility method is used in other tests which are not covered by the 
fix but may fail due to the same reason.
