        If the VM is started with --limit-modules and the attach API is used to start a JMX agent then the java.management and java.rmi modules will be loaded into a child layer. Calling getPackage on any of the classes in these modules will fail with InternalError as the boot loader implementation of definePackage assumes that if a class is defined to the boot loader in a named module then the named module is in the boot layer.
