LotsOfOutput is a lousy test. totalMemory can grow with any quantum. Better would be watching usedMemory = Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory() - Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory(); as suggested at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3571203/what-is-the-exact-meaning-of-runtime-getruntime-totalmemory-and-freememory

Please review this update to a test to make it resilient to small allocations that may bump the total memory. The test will also collect more data if it fails again.
