### Failure analysis ###
The failure occurs due to a cast from an unsigned to a signed integer, which results in an overflow.
### Original report ###
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The develop vm option NMethodSizeLimit can cause JVM crash if we set a big value for it, no matter the running test program.
For example, for the following test program:
```java
public class NMethodSizeLimitTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Success Loaded!");
}
}
```
If we run this program on Ubuntu with OpenJDK11 using the following command:
```java
pathTo/jdk11u/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-fastdebug/jdk/bin/java -XX:NMethodSizeLimit=21474
83647 -cp . NMethodSizeLimitTest
```
The output of the above command is:
```java
