Greetings,

I'm sponsoring this code review request from Ron Durbin. This change
is targeted at JDK8/HSX-25 in the RT_Baseline repo.

I have a proposed fix for the following bug:

     6799919 Recursive calls to report_vm_out_of_memory are handled 
incorrectly
     http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6799919
     https://jbs.oracle.com/bugs/browse/JDK-6799919

This is one of those bug fixes where the commit message nicely describes
the change:

6799919: Recursive calls to report_vm_out_of_memory are handled incorrectly
Summary: report_vm_out_of_memory() should allow VMError.report_and_die() 
to handle multiple out of native memory errors.

      of the testing needed to reproduce this failure and verify the fix
