[LOG4J2-1361] AsyncAppender never recovers from OutOfMemoryError in AsyncThread.run

• Type: Bug
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Affects Version/s: 2.5

Description

We have a test that allocates too much memory, causing {{OutOfMemoryError}}s for a short time.

Because AsyncThread.run() doesn't handle them in any way, the thread exits, and all the logging threads block in AsyncAppender.append(), hanging the test suite.
