Comments
While this fails very rarely in CI it does crop up in personal jobs, sometimes for different threads. Always there is a lurking error e.g.
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException
Error: sun.jvm.hotspot.debugger.UnmappedAddressException: 2f6176616a4c1000
Error: sun.jvm.hotspot.debugger.UnalignedAddressException: f0ce9bb1
Not clear if the test needs more diagnostics or whether Clhsdb is at fault. Seems strange to get a corrupt stacktrace.

In the attached log we see a buried:
Error: java.lang.NullPointerException
which suggests it was encountered when trying to process the stack for the main thread.
In other failures we see:
Error: sun.jvm.hotspot.utilities.AssertionFailure: illegal bci

Failure is very intermittent, happened only once from hundred successful runs.
