Description Carlos Vara CLA 2012-12-07 09:21:48 EST 
It seems ajc Main.java will add an uncategorized message when an OutOfMemoryError is caught, but the systemExit method which is called afterwards will only exit with a non 0 status if a message categorized as FAIL or ERROR is present.

Returning 0 in this case can interact badly with some ant runs as they may interpret it as a successful execution of the ajc task.

will exit with -1 now on out of memory.
