JVM crashed shortly after startup when using skywalking java agent.

[weixiang1862]

First of all, this is a jdk related bug(https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8097231).

You can refer the above bug report and upgrade jdk to 8.0_40+ if you have the similar crash report.

I hope this case can help someone if they encounter then same problem here.

[wu-sheng]

I assume some new jdk release fixed this?

[weixiang1862]

Yes, jdk 8u40+ is recommened.
