>> `ByteArrayInputStream.transferTo` invoked with an `OutputStream` parameter which delegates to a `FileChannel` throws an `OutOfMemoryError` if the length of the `byte[]` wrapped by the `ByteArrayInputStream` exceeds `MaxDirectMemorySize`. This is because `FileChannel.write` uses `IOUtil.write` which creates a temporary direct buffer for writing. If the `byte[]` length is larger than `MaxDirectMemorySize`, then the temporary direct buffer allocation fails with an `OutOfMemoryError`.

@blpb / @AlanBateman : Do you know if this will this also be released to Java 17 and/or Java 21 service packs?
