Description
Media crashes with libavcodec 57 on Ubuntu 17.04 32-bit. To reproduce this issue load any MP4 files in MediaPlayer.

After investigation it looks like issue with libavcodec on Ubuntu and nothing can be done on our side. It crashes when loading libavplugin-ffmpeg-57.so using dlopen.

No issues with pre-build libav or ffmpeg. Does not reproduces on Ubuntu 17.04 64-bit.

Given that the patch imports cleanly to 8u-dev, this is also approved to backport to 8u-dev for 8u172.

Does it happen on Ubuntu 17.10? If it is a bug in the platform library, it would be worth knowing whether it is fixed by a later version.

This crash is only in new platform support that was added in 10, and backported to 9.0.4 and 8u162.

Is it introduced in 10 or earlier in 9 as well?

Starting with JDK 9, we no longer produce or support 32-bit JDKs, so this will only be an issue for JDK 8u, if the issue is reproducible there after JDK-8181922 is backported to 8u.
