[zzambers]

Seems like this issue:
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8305931
(will need to get backported)

[roberttoyonaga]

The fix has been backported all the way to JDK8 now [GH, JBS]. The tests are passing on the previously failing platforms (with the nightly build):

(linux x64 )https://ci.adoptium.net/view/Test_grinder/job/Grinder/10706/parameters/
(windows x64) https://ci.adoptium.net/view/Test_grinder/job/Grinder/10708/
(aarch64) https://ci.adoptium.net/view/Test_grinder/job/Grinder/10707/

Can this issue be closed now?

[sophia-guo]

Thanks @roberttoyonaga. This will be closed by #5495
