I would suggest you to try building the latest JDK 9, or using the JDK 9
EA to see if this is fixed in already. Vladimir had fixed the issues
like these before, and here is the recent one:
 https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8066199

The bug, if any, would be easier to demonstrate with Timeline view in
Solaris Studio Performance Analyzer, like this:
