REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u40

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Open RandomAccessFiles, create mappings and close them, repeatedly.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The error message shouldn't happen at all but if it does, it should be more meaningful. e.g. it should say it cannot allocate memory while de-allocating memory.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Don't open, map and close files so fast.
