Samsung 5.X annotations crash

[AAverin]

We have a few stacktraces from Samsung 5.X devices that crash on attempt to read class annotations.
It's a known issue of Samsung firmwares (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37045084) and I know it's not Jackson issue.
Still, for some reason it wasn't present with GSON (or at least we didn't see it), and jackson-kotlin-module could, probably, have a graceful fallback for these crashes, fixing the problem for thousands of our users.

Here is another related thread from Stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29619052/how-to-fix-incompatibleclasschangeerror-during-android-jackson-parsing-using-ann/30355502#30355502

Here are some traces:

and

Any chance this exception could be caught by jackson with some graceful fallback provided? For example, class could be handled as if it doesn't have any annotations on it.

Thanks
