But for non-JavaThreads, and compiler threads, the occurrence of such an error is treated as a fatal error and we abort the VM.

To address this we change compute_map to create, but not throw, the exception and return a bool indicating whether an error occurred, and the caller can then choose to throw the exception itself.
