Nick Williams commented on LOG4J2-223:
--------------------------------------

Okay, I think I understand better.

I don't think the problem is in the selector. Regardless of which selector is 
being used, the {{o.a.l.l.core.LoggerContext}} class is still the class 
ultimately instantiated. _That_ class is the one adding the shutdown hook. The 
shutdown hook is responsible for the class loader memory leak, because the 
Runtime class's holding an instance of the shutdown hook means that the 
{{LoggerContext.ShutdownHook}} class can't be unloaded, which means the class 
loader and all of the classes it holds can't be garbage collected.
