Yes - that's also a possibility.
Would that satisfy the issue with JavaMail as described in
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8152515 ?

It is still unsure what should be done for OOME in this
case though.

I think I might still be attracted by the solution that
brings the least code & behavioral change - so let's see
if we can get away with special-casing shutdown to trap
errors...
