David, Brian, Remi,
Thanks for the review.

The "detailMessage" is not final because the VM in fact preallocates
Throwable object (OOME and ArithmeticException) and then sets the
'detailMessage' field directly (as the constructor is not invoked).
I am pretty sure the VM can set this field even if it is declared final.
I think I don't see the problem.
I will file a CR to address this and separate from this bug fix. I
believe that the VM has no problem setting this field even if it's
declared final. I may be overly cautious but I think we need the VM
team to evaluate this.
Thanks
Mandy
