Consider the following trivial command:

java "-Xlog:gc*=trace,safepoint*=trace,class*=trace" -version

This results in a JVM crash:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# Internal Error (logOutput.cpp:266), pid=16136, tid=9219
# guarantee(n_selections > 0) failed: Cannot find maximal selection.

The above error was reproduced on a Mac M1 with 12.2.1 version of the OS, against a Java 17 instance. This is also reproducible against latest master branch of JDK.

Do note that it's the combination of gc, class and safepoint tags which triggers this. Using each of them individually (like gc*=trace) or as a couple (like gc*=trace,safepoint*=trace) doesn't cause any crash.
