The problem is that libgraal in `-Xcomp` temporarily causes some extra memory pressure (probably due to [JDK-8310218](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8310218)) which can cause recoverable OOMEs to occur (memory is recovered when the relevant libgraal compilations complete). It also seems related to async threads used for cleaning weak references when using G1 or ZGC as I cannot reproduce the failure under `-XX:+UseSerialGC`.

I confirmed that `java/util/concurrent/Executors/UnreferencedExecutor.java` still fails if the [fix applied to ThreadContainers.java](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/ada416e66cbff6c8e631bf352acc0744c248740b#diff-1e347b9a95cc4fe81a01ca70e4122a73a65d99a69668c7567abb2a6067f8cc6dL68) is reverted.
