Maybe what Carl should try is to actually cause an OOME without
triggering the "OOM Killer".

Carl: you said that everything is copacetic when you run with a smaller
heap, right? Well, run with that smaller heap, but then write a simply
servlet/JSP/whatever that just allocates huge, say, byte[] buffers until
it gets an OOME and verify that you get a heap dump when that happens.
