As mentioned, I've also heard this. I'd like to have pointers to actual
documentation describing this, because I don't necessarily believe in
it. See my other post in this thread about why I don't necessarily
blindly believe that the OOM should come on any random thread. And I
specifically don't understand why there shouldn't be any guarantee that
the VM is functional after an OOM.
   So pointers to docs or authoritative voices on this would be great.

Endre.
