Description
A virtual machine crash was observed in JDK 11.0.19 and 17.0.7 when executing the `GregorianCalender.computeTime()` method (JDK-8307683). It was found that although the root cause of the crash is an old issue, a recent fix for a rare issue in the C2 compiler (JDK-8297951) made the crash much more likely. To mitigate this, the fix has been reverted in JDK 11.0.20 and 17.0.8 and will be reapplied once JDK-8307683 is resolved.
Comments
Cast title into title case. Added markdown where needed. Removed the '-' from re-applied. Added Oracle versions to the Affects Version and Fix Version.

[~thartmann] Yes, we (OpenJDK 11/17) at least need a release note for it. I'm happy to change to the text you've provided, though. Changing it now.

[~sgehwolf], do we really need a release note for this? If so, I would propose the following text: A virtual machine crash was observed in JDK 11.0.19 and 17.0.7 when executing the GregorianCalender.computeTime() method (JDK-8307683). It was found that although the root cause of the crash is an old issue, a recent fix for a rare issue in the C2 compiler (JDK-8297951) made the crash much more likely.
