Hi. Just wanted to ping you because I remember we talked about hardnuts for test runners (like surefire). I've been recently trying to think of a way to shutdown the forked JVM cleanly on permgen/ OOM conditions (and signal it back as such to the controlling process). Seems to be quite hard because various JVMs appear to go crazy themselves when running under low memory.
Anyway, out of curiousity I checked with surefire and it seems to hang for me (Windows, 8 core cpu). The code is here. https://github.com/dweiss/surefire-hardtests The single-threaded version says the forked VM shut down without saying good bye which seems like a fine resolution to me. This is hardly a "bug" in surefire -- like I mentioned, running anything with exhausted permgen or heap is very unpredictable in Java. Still, I'm curious if you see any workarounds or solutions for the issue.
