I was testing an application, where my application threw OutOfMemory exception, but the process is still alive, as I can see from ProcessExplorer. I thought it was just alive and not doing anything after OOM, but after some time I still see some aplication activity. I am a bit surprised. Any reason why this can happen?

Exception in thread "ActiveMQ Transport: tcp://localhost/127.0.0.1:61000@53335"
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
JVM options I used are:
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+PrintGCDetails -verbose:gc -Xloggc:C:/temp/GCVerbose.log
It is a 64-bit Java 1.7.
EDIT:::
I thought the application is still doing something as I saw a few more application related log messages after the OOM exception. But after a few minutes, I see final exception stack like below and the application activity stopped. But the process is still alive!

Try kill -3 <process-pid>
to print Java thread dumps and see where is the app hanging.
