FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0_60-b27) (build 1.8.0_60-b27)

FULL OS VERSION :
Linux XXXXXXXX 3.13.0-33-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 29 16:45:05 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
During application start a file is loaded and deserialized which leads reproducible to the crash.

public void readSomeFile(File dir) {
final long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
try (FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File(dir, FILENAME_XXX)); ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(fis)) {
snap = (XXXMap<String, Map<String, Map<Transaction, Map<ACounter, ACounter>>>>) in
.readObject();
logSnap();
} catch (Exception e) {
log.info("cannot read snap " + ExceptionHelper.getMessage(e));
snap = null;
}
}

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

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Yes

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 7u80

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
