A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Java crashes during startup of my application when running with AOT enabled on java.base module.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) Compile java.base module using jaotc:
call %JAVA_HOME%\bin\jaotc.exe --compile-for-tiered --info --output libjavabase.so --module java.base

2) compile simple example given in the source code section, that attempts to load java classes

call %JAVA_HOME%\bin\javac.exe com\example\Hello.java

3) Run it few times, crash is not consistently happening on every run, which is why you have to do it a number of times, close and ignore any GUI windows that may be popping up due to class loading. They don't seem to be relevant to the crash.

FOR /L %%A IN (1,1,2000) DO (
  call %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe -cp . -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+UseAOT -XX:AOTLibrary=libjavabase.so -XX:+UseAOTStrictLoading com.example.Hello
)



ACTUAL -
Tested on 2 different Windows 7 PCs where a pop-up appears "Javaâ„¢ Platform SE binary has stopped working". Fully runnable script reproducing the above available upon request.
