      Trying to run Nashorn's "ant test262parallel" fails with a malloc related crash. It is non-deterministic as to when in the execution it happens, but it happens every time.

      Steps to reproduce with a copy of jdk9:

      cd jdk9/nashorn/make
      ant get-testng get-test262
      ant test262parallel

      "ant get-testng get-test262" only needs to be run once to download external dependencies; "ant test262parallel" can then be run any number of times to exhibit the issue.

      Sample error message:

           [java] java(50094,0x11ec11000) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fbef1fa5320: pointer being freed was not allocated
           [java] *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
           [java] Java Result: 134
