Yes, it reproduces every single time :)

At the moment, I assume it has something to do with
java.lang.ref.Reference, as I see
InstanceRefKlass::oop_ms_adjust_pointers(oop)+0x281 in the stacktrace
in the core file. And I know we use a lot of weak references.

Unfortunately, currently I cannot share the test, but I'll try to see
if can make a small standalone test case that I can share.
