A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When we try to create a Java VM from a C++ application using JNI, the application hangs when invoke the JNI_CreateJavaVM.

This problem happens when we have generated a library with the C++ code for creating the JavaVM and we load it using a dlopen() function.

The same code works fine and creates the JavaVM if we use jdk 1.7, or if our C++ application doesn't use dlopen().

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Did not try

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Did not try

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u55

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Creates a C++ class which creates a JavaVM according to example in JNI specification (http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/jni/spec/invocation.html).
Creates a library with the code, and builds a C++ application which loads dynamically with dlopen() the generated library.
When you execute the application, it hangs in the invocation to method JNI_CreateJavaVM.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected: the creation of the JavaVM from C++ application.

Actual: the application hangs.
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
No error message obtained.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
