This looks like the same stack trace as in JDK-8205033, but this one has been fixed half a year ago so I created a new issue.
While the build had changes to the GC pause in it, no GC events occurred yet, so highly unlikely that these were caused by that.
Tried to reproduce by running the test a further 160 times on all platforms with no further crash. hs_err file attached.
