It should be possible to trigger the out of memory error. Some tests like testsuites/sptests/spfatal09/init.c have a _consume_all_memory()_ function. Others use someting like spmountmgr01/init.c: which uses _rtems_heap_greedy_allocate()_. Since this is an allocation via _malloc()_, the second method should work. 

There are tests under libtests/dl* which use RAP. Copying one of them and allocating all of the memory before calling the service that uses _rtems_rap_app_alloc()_ may be enough to trigger this. And yes, I am suggesting adding a new test executable to exercise this.
