After reading up some more it seems java.lang.OutOfMemoryError is a
non-fatal error, which is presumably why condor doesn't exit the job.

I'm reluctant to edit the source as it is a 3rd party application and I
don't want to have to modify it for each release.

I can't use either of these as the job never gets as far as exiting, it just
goes back to idle and will resubmit to get the same error, ad infinitum.

The exit code is 1, as an abnormal termination, so I tried this in
on_exit_hold and periodic_hold, but the first doesn't run and second runs
before the exitcode is defined.

Is there something like on_evict_hold? I couldn't find anything in the
manual.
