While testing the new -XX:+StressUnstableIfTraps option (see JDK-8335334), I hit an assert with TestDuplicatedLateInliningOutput.java added by JDK-8320237. I slightly modified the test (see attached test.patch) and can now also reproduce the issue without any stress options:
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#

Looks like a regression from JDK-8335334. At least, when reverting JDK-8335334 the issue does not reproduce anymore.
