    Description

      Reproduce:
       javac Test.java
       java -jar asmtools.jar jcoder Host.jcod
       java Test

      Then in most time (for it is a multithread bug) , we will get the crash :

      #
      # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
      #
      # Internal Error (/home/wanghuang/repo/openjdk/jdk/src/hotspot/share/classfile/systemDictionary.cpp:1939), pid=89089, tid=87530
      # assert(entry->nest_host_error() == __null) failed: Nest host error message already set!
      #
      # JRE version: OpenJDK Runtime Environment (17.0) (fastdebug build 17-internal+0-adhoc.wanghuang.jdk)

      # Problematic frame:
      # V [libjvm.so+0x16b915c] SystemDictionary::add_nest_host_error(constantPoolHandle const&, int, char const*)+0x114

      #

      The main reason of this crash is this code:

      ``` java
      void SystemDictionary::add_nest_host_error(const constantPoolHandle& pool,
                                                 int which,
                                                 const char* message) {
        unsigned int hash = resolution_errors()->compute_hash(pool, which);
        int index = resolution_errors()->hash_to_index(hash);
        {
          MutexLocker ml(Thread::current(), SystemDictionary_lock);
          ResolutionErrorEntry* entry = resolution_errors()->find_entry(index, hash, pool, which);
          if (entry != NULL) {
            assert(entry->nest_host_error() == NULL, "Nest host error message already set!");
            entry->set_nest_host_error(message);
          } else {
            resolution_errors()->add_entry(index, hash, pool, which, message);
          }
        }
      }
      ```

      This bug will reproduce in two interpret threads(In our case) or compiler threads(if we resolve the classes from compiler thread without interpret thread) executing. Thread A get a `resolution_errors` and called `add_entry`. Thread B will get `entry` from `find_entry` and trigger the assert.
