After some investigation it seems that the `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` is just a consequence of a previous error:


2024-11-27T16:35:06.3750870Z Opening core file, please wait...
2024-11-27T16:35:06.3751320Z ERROR: failed to workaround classshareing
2024-11-27T16:35:06.3751780Z Unable to open core file


I applied [JDK-8294316](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8294316) "SA core file support is broken on macosx-x64 starting with macOS 12.x" [in this fork](https://github.com/vieiro/jdk11u-dev/actions/runs/12261423128) and the core files are now properly parsed and the test passes without problems.

I'll try to backport JDK-8294316 to upper OpenJDK versions and get it into 11.
