The discussion about [JDK-8196050](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8196050) does not seem to be active.

However `dumppath` is useful for containerized application, so I want to fix the bug at first if JDK-8196050 needs a time. If I can do so, I withdraw this PR/CSR and file it as a new bug. Is it ok?
