<pre wrap="">Hi Tomas,
I don't know if this is the case here, but what if the
ReferenceHandler thread is interrupted while wait()-ing and the
construction of InterruptedException triggers OOME?

<!--[if !IE]></DIV><![endif]--></blockquote>
<pre wrap="">I am sure this is the case - previously I thought InterruptedException
is a preallocated exception like others.
ObjectMonitor::wait() may throw it, by creating new InterruptedException
instances.
Thanks!
Now that we've found the very likely cause, what to do about it?</pre>
<!--[if !IE]></DIV><![endif]--></blockquote>
<br>
Maybe just ignore it since if it happens during wait(), the cause is
supposed to be interrupted thread and the InterruptedException that
was to be thrown would be ignored too:<br>
<br>
try {<br>
lock.wait();<br>
} catch (InterruptedException |
OutOfMemoryError x) { }<br>
<br>

<pre wrap="">
The current state of silently crashing the reference handler thread is
unsatisfying imo as it leads to very hard to find problems.
The options I see all involve catching this (or any other OOME caused by
other means like the test program) and either recovering as much as
possible or exiting the VM (like in the sun.misc.Cleaner handling).
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Thomas
