Fix test case outofmem for PPC Mac OS X

[thorkilnaur]

Running validate on my PPC Mac OS X has for some time reported

Unexpected failures:
   arrow(normal)
   arrowrun003(normal)
   divbyzero(normal)
   outofmem(normal)

with detailed report for outofmem(normal)

*** unexpected failure for outofmem(normal)

This is clearly a simple case of an error message that differs in a non-essential way. The attached patch supplies a specific stderr output file for powerpc_apple_darwin to fix this problem. With this change, validate reports

OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Sun Nov  4 19:25:15 CET 2007

Unexpected failures:

   arrowrun003(normal)
   divbyzero(normal)

so at least, no harm seems to be done by this patch.
