I still have my doubts about the actual logging strategy and the usefulness of doing it outside the lock, but won't press it. The main thing is that `logRuntimeExit` can not throw an exception.

Thanks.

If this gets integrated then JDK-8303057 should be closed as a duplicate, at which point the entry in the ProblemList gets orphaned. If JDK-8303057 is to be closed as a duplicate of this issue, then this issue should update the ProblemList. Otherwise you need a new issue just to do the PL update (it would make no sense for JDK-8303057 to be hijacked for that).
