Currently this only happens if we invoke `StackWalker.getCallerClass()` recursively reflectively, but this issue will become more prominent once we fix [JDK-8285447](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8285447). The gory details follow below:

For `StackWalker.walk()` it will normally be a `StackFrameInfo[]` (or a `LiveStackFrameInfo[]` if the internal `ExtendedOption.LOCALS_AND_OPERANDS` option was used).

> - `AbstractStackWalker::doStackWalk()` calls `consumeFrames()` (which is overridden depending on whether we initially called `getCallerClass()` or `walk()`) which consumes the frames until it either finishes (e.g. finds the caller class) or until there are no more frames.
