    Thank you for you report.

    It looks like an issue in the JRS library. I sent the request to the 
java-dev Apple alias: 
http://lists.apple.com/archives/java-dev/2015/Aug/msg00024.html

    Could you look is Java 6 is installed on your system? In my case the 
crash went away after the Java 6 installation.

   Thanks,
   Alexandr.
