Hi Peter the version you provided ran indefinitely(i put a 10 minute timeout) and the program got interrupted(no error),

Did you run it with or without fastedbug & -XX:+TraceExceptions ? If with, it might be that fastdebug and/or -XX:+TraceExceptions changes the execution a bit so that we can no longer reproduce the wrong behaviour.

even if there were to be an error you cannot print the "string" of thread to console(these have been attempted earlier).

...it has been attempted to print toString in uncaught exception handler. At that time, the heap is still full. I'm printing it after the GC has cleared the heap. You can try that it works by commenting out the "try {" and corresponding "} catch (OOME x) {}" exception handler...

- The test's running on interpreter mode, what i am watching for is one error with trace. Without fastdebug build and -XX:+TraceExceptions i am able to reproduce failure atleast 5 failures out of 1000 runs but with fastdebug+Trace no luck yet(already past few 1000 runs).

It might be interesting to try with fastebug build but without the -XX:+TraceExceptions option to see what has an effect on it. It might also be interesting to try the modified ReferenceHandler (the one with private runImpl() method called from run()) and with normal non-fastdebug JDK. This info might be useful when one starts to inspect the exception handling code in interpreter...

Since we suspect there's something wrong with exception handling in interpreter, I devised a hypothetical reproducer that tries to simulate ReferenceHandler in many aspects, but doesn't require to be a ReferenceHandler:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~plevart/misc/OOME/OOMECatchingTest.java

This is designed to run indefinitely and only terminate if/when thread dies. Could you run this program in the environment that causes the OOMEInReferenceHandler test to fail and see if it terminates?

I forgot to mention that in order for this long-running program to exhibit interpreter behaviour, it should be run with -Xint option. So I suggest:

-Xmx24M -XX:-UseTLAB -Xint
