APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Error Message: OutOfMemoryError . Stack Trace: N/A . Java thread objects and associated memory are leaked.
Local fix
Avoid using destructors to detach threads.
Problem summary
Attaching a native thread to the VM via JNI creates a java thread. The native thread should be detached from the VM when it exits, in order to destroy the java thread and free memory associated with the thread. If the native application relies on a thread-local storage destructor to perform the detach when the native thread exits, a problem in the VM causes the detach to fail. Thus the java thread and associated memory are leaked. This may lead to an out of memory condition.
Problem conclusion
The VM has been corrected in order to run the thread-local storage destructor to detach the native thread successfully. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 7 SR9 FP40 (7.0.9.40) 6 R1 SR8 FP25 (6.1.8.25) 7 R1 SR3 FP40 (7.1.3.40) 8 SR3 (8.0.3.0) .
