Similar errors were seen on JDK11 and were reported here: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8207404. There were some fixes made in JDK12 but these were not back-ported to JDK8

[sophia-guo]

@groeges Thanks! Will the fix be back-ported to JDK8?

[groeges]

@sophia-guo I am not sure. The code in JDK8 is quite different from that in JDK12. They might have deemed it too much work to try and do it. I will take a look and see if we can Gert them to back port it or to see if we can do it ourselves.

Closed as fixed do not back port to JDK8
