Comments
JDK-8040798 blocked investigating this issue, since the JVM deadlocked when executing the test a large amount of times. Now that JDK-8040798 is fixed, the bug is not reproducible after having the test executed 10000X plus times. Also the fix of JDK-8040798 could have fixed this issue, since the bug fixes an memory allocation/free bug of compile tasks. Please feel free to reopen the bug, if the same issue occurs again.

Another workaround is the reduce the number of compiler threads.
