Hello
Some time ago we reported 9062835. This is a crashing bug when loading
custom JFR event classes. It happens when a classloader does not acquire
a lock around #defineClass but instead relies on catching LinkageError.
This works for normal classes but results in a JVM crash for custom
event classes that need to be transformed. It looks as if a lock inside
the JVM is missing. We also attached a reproducer [1] [2].
Somehow the bug is not yet visible and we did not get a confirmation
mail. We wanted to ask whether we somehow made an error when entering
some fields or some other information is missing.
