RFR(XS): 8143897 :Weblogic12medrec assert(handler_address == SharedRuntime::compute_compiled_exc_handler(nm, pc, exception, force_unwind, true)) failed: Must be the same

As you noticed, for this kind of bug the memory is going to consistent 
by the time the core file is written.
So to help debug this assert it if happens again, could you change it to 
something like:

#ifdef ASSERT
     address computed_address = 
SharedRuntime::compute_compiled_exc_handler(nm, pc, exception, 
force_unwind, true);
     vmassert(handler_address == computed_address, PTR_FORMAT " != " 
PTR_FORMAT, p2i(handler_address), p2i(computed_address));
#endif
