+ * @bug 8139424
+ * @summary Test to check that a live humongous object is not eagerly reclaimed. This is a regression test for
+ *          8139424 and the test will crash if an eager reclaim occur. The test is not 100% deterministic and
+ *          might pass even if there are problems in the code, but it will never crash unless there is a problem.
