Quite the contrary, previously, if flush() threw any unchecked exception (ThreadDeath included), it was ignored if out.close() also threw (IOException or any unchecked exception).

Yes, this is what I was trying to say.

+ // evaluate possible precedence of flushException over closeException

+                       if ((flushException instanceof ThreadDeath) &&
+                           !(closeException instanceof ThreadDeath)) {
+ flushException.addSuppressed(closeException);
+                           throw (ThreadDeath) flushException;
+                       }

That would be better and would deal with the concern with webrev.02.
