>             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
