The adapters could not be allocated in `loadClass`, and VirtualMachineError has been thrown and wrapped in other exceptions (e.g. LambdaConversionException in `InnerClassLambdaMetafactory.buildCallSite` and then BootstrapMethodError in `BootstrapMethodInvoker.invoke`). The stack trace might not be completely printed  in `ThreadGroup.uncaughtException` while the code cache is full. Another VirtualMachineError might be thrown by e.g. `java.lang.StackTraceElement` and eventually printed by `JavaThread::exit` without its message.

I reproduced the issue on linux-x64 and got another scenario (linux-x64 in the description): the message "Out of space ..." is neither printed in stdout nor stderr. `printStackTrace` (in `ThreadGroup.uncaughtException`) could not print completely while the code cache is full. Maybe catch `Exception: java.lang.VirtualMachineError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "main"` (by `JavaThread::exit) in stderr instead? It's a more relaxed condition for the same exception.
