I just wanted to give feedback: Yesterday, I installed build 85 on Lucene's Jenkins, the SIGSEGVs are no longer happening. We have to wait a few more days, but looks good up to now. I did not find JDK-8134974 mentioned in the changes list of build 85, but I think it is part of the missing changelog for build 84 (that does not exist on jdk9.java.net).
