@dholmes-ora I have two questions about this fix:

1. Will it fix a leak in both platform and virtual threads? Or only virtual threads?
2. I assume you tested for leaks under JDK 19? I was under the impression that the `ExtentLocal` functionality was not part of this release which is why I'm surprised to see it mentioned in the fix.

Thank you.
