And, in fact, it's not.  The OOME exception is somewhat of a catch-all, in that the JVM will use this whenever any number of resources are exhausted, not just when the heap is full.  The problem here is that the OS is refusing to start another thread, either because you've reached a predefined limit, or you've run out of non-heap space in the process to contain the control structures for the new thread.
