During  the investigation of JDK-8080803, it is noticed that the possible trigger might be the ByteBuffer.get(byte[]) fails to get the corresponding bytes from the bytebuffer, the returned byte[] does not contain the any content ("zero" in our test case).

I'm not sure if they are related, the attached test case always fails (ByteBuffer.get(byte[]) fails to get the content) after 10k+ iteration on my local 32-bit linux build (very old  machine/os). Recently I have to update the hotspot source code (2 64-bit constants) to let the hotspot build to finish, as the compiler complains the constant is out of the range of a "long" ...
