P4 Description
The GrowableArrays created in the GetStackTraceClosure constructor to store the bci and Method* of each frame found while traversing the stack are allocated in the resource area of the thread that calls async_get_stack_trace(). But if the handshake is executed by the target and if the number of frames in the stack exceeds the initial size of the GrowableArrays then we will hit an assertion when trying to grow the size of the array.
Example of crash when running the vmTestbase/nsk/stress/strace/ tests with a lower value of init_length or increasing DEPTH in one of those tests beyond 512:

The arrays should be created in the C heap instead.
