JVM init path: J9_CreateJavaVM.
JVM exit paths: protectedDestroyJavaVM and exitJavaVM.
A segfault can happen if JVM init and exit paths execute concurrently. This can happen if a shutdown signal is raised and the shutdown handler is invoked. JVM shutdown signals are SIGINT, SIGTERM and SIGHUP.
The JVM exit paths wait or spin until the JVM has successfully initialized.
This should prevent clean up (freeing of memory) until the JVM has successfully initialized, and resolve the associated segfaults.
