      Description

        This is a bug found by [~dnsimon]. The attached test case creates two MethodHandles for the same method, redefines the method and then calls the first created MethodHandle:

                // fooMH2 displaces fooMH1 from the MemberNamesTable
                MethodHandle fooMH1 = lookup.unreflect(fooMethod);
                MethodHandle fooMH2 = lookup.unreflect(fooMethod);

                // Redefining Foo.getName() causes vmtarget to be updated
                // in fooMH2 but not fooMH1
                redefineFoo();

                // Full GC causes fooMH1.vmtarget to be deallocated
                System.gc();

                // Calling fooMH1.vmtarget crashes the VM
                System.out.println("fooMH1.invoke = " + fooMH1.invokeExact());

        The problem is that MemberNameTable only stores the last created MemberName for a given method.

        $ java RedefineMethodUsedByMultipleMethodHandles
        fooMH1.invoke = foo
        fooMH2.invoke = foo
