Backport request for JDK-8034249

Hi all,

We have a java agent that uses JVMTI's GetStackTrace.
As can be seen in [1], there is an issue that may cause
the JVM to crash when it is invoked. The issue was fixed
for jdk9 in 2014, but as far as I can tell, it was not
backported to jdk8. We have quite a few customer JVMs
crashing because of this.

Is there any particular reason for not backporting?
If not, would anyone be so kind as to do it? Can I
help the effort in any way?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,
Gleb Smirnov
