Linux x64. Reproducible on my Ubuntu box. I run the gtests by manually starting them:

./hotspot/variant-server/libjvm/gtest/gtestLauncher -jdk:./images/jdk/

gtests run through, then crash after finishing.

No useful hs-err file. Getting a core was possible by cutting hs-err reporting short with: -XX:+SuppressFatalErrorMessage -XX:+CreateCoredumpOnCrash


Backtrace:
