Brian already gave you the general answer, but in this case one of your 
colleagues at Google, Martin Buccholz, is one of the primary maintainers 
of the java.util.concurrent code.

It is documented to be thrown:

    * If the task cannot be submitted for execution, either because this
    * executor has been shutdown or because its capacity has been reached,
    * the task is handled by the current {@code RejectedExecutionHandler}.

The actual code that throws it doesn't know the exact reason. But you 
seem to be running a custom RejectedExeceptionHandler so it should be 
able to determine whether the executor is shutdown, or if using a 
bounded queue which may have become full.

Cheers,
David
