MPING: OutOfMemory exception can cause receiver thread to terminate
-------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JGRP-732
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-732
             Project: JGroups
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Bela Ban
         Assigned To: Bela Ban
             Fix For: 2.6.3, 2.7


In MPING, we have something like this:

while(receiver is running) {
   try {
      receiver mcast packet
      create  input stream
      parse data into message
      pass message up
   }
   finally {
       close input stream // <==== BUG
   }
}


If we get an OOME in the finally clause, then the receiver thread will terminate. This means we will not be able to handle discovery requests from other members any more !

FIX: we need to catch the closing of the input stream
