What are the exceptions look like? I'm running System.gc() on Java8 and I'm
getting this in the GC log:

[GC (System.gc()) [PSYoungGen: 41984K->624K(611840K)]
41984K->632K(2010112K), 0.0010397 secs] [Times: user=0.00 sys=0.01,
real=0.00 secs]
[Full GC (System.gc()) [PSYoungGen: 624K->0K(611840K)] [ParOldGen:
8K->500K(1398272K)] 632K->500K(2010112K), [Metaspace:
2926K->2926K(1056768K)], 0.0056682 secs] [Times: user=0.02 sys=0.00,
real=0.00 secs]

There is indeed a Full GC line, but there is a line with Young GC results
as well. The attachment has been probably swallowed by the mailing list.
