Peter,

I looked at Cleaner by curiosity and it seems to be not catching the oome
from thunk.run !

If oome1 is thrown by thunk.run at line 150 then it is catched at line 157
but your new try/catch block (oome2) only encapsulates the doPriviledge
block.

If this block also throws a new oome2 due to the first oome1 (no memory
left), it will work but I would have prefered a more explicit solution and
check oome1 first ...

My 2 cents (I am not a reviewer).
