I see how [JDK-8297389](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8297389) caused this now but am unclear how to truly fix it. The memory management aspects of all this are extremely convoluted. In the context of [JDK-8297389](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8297389) if it needs to free a MethodData that it allocated, then I would expect that to be a complete freeing - not sure why it doesn't call the destructor to handle things as that is what the destructor is for.
