Description
A large app server testing with JDK 9 builds hits a crash with jdk-9+159 that is not seen with previous builds (issue not seen with jdk-9+156)
Comments
Is there any log file containing the stderr/stdout of the VM before it crashed? The verification code logs which objects were broken before causing a fatal error and exiting. Since this bug fails pre-gc verification with both verify before and after enabled it sounds like this is not a GC bug. In any case we will need much more information in order to be able to investigate this: logs, core files, etc.

I've attached hs_err_pid99485.log, this time the -XX:+VerifyBeforeGC is passed to the VM and it crashes during the verification. I also attach hs_err_pid101953.log that was run with both -XX:+VerifyBeforeGC and -XX:+VerifyAfterGC.

The VerifyBeforeGC hs_err suggests that they passed -XX:+VerifyBeforeGC as a parameter to the java application and not the vm, see the "VM Arguments" section and specifically note that the verification flag is in the java_command section and not the jvm_args one.
