Is this really a problem in the latest sources? We made changes so that the raw value is always printed before we try to decode the value: [JDK-8284273](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8284273) and the we've made it so that we continue with the rest of the register decoding if one of them fails: [JDK-8296469](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8296469).

I'd like to see reproducer that creates a truncated hs_err file before we proceed with this change.
