This looks similar to JDK-8213584

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
I used two terminals, one for jshell and another to run jhsdb jmap

First terminal, start a jshell process:
# jshell
| Welcome to JShell -- Version 11.0.3
| For an introduction type: /help intro

jshell>

Second terminal, check pid of jshell and then run jshdb jmap:

# jcmd
9666 jdk.jcmd/sun.tools.jcmd.JCmd
9515 jdk.jshell/jdk.internal.jshell.tool.JShellToolProvider
9534 jdk.jshell.execution.RemoteExecutionControl 42871

# jhsdb jmap --pid 9515 --binaryheap --dumpfile heap.hprof

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expected the execution to finish with the message "heap written to heap.hprof"
