A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I was surprised by a vm crash when i played around with a very simple method that creates ArrayLists using the vm options
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+DoEscapeAnalysis
The crash only happens when i use both options.

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Did not try

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Yes

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Use the source method below and set vm options
-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+DoEscapeAnalysis

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
vm should not crash
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Attached Seperatly

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

        int nObjects=100000;
        for(int i=0; i < 1000; i++){
            ArrayList<String> a = new ArrayList<String>();
        }

        for(int i=0; i < nObjects; i++){

            ArrayList<String> a = new ArrayList<String>();
