> A gist of the fix is to allow relaxed special handling of code blob lookup when done for ASGCT. 
> 
> Currently, a guarantee will fail when we happen to hit a zombie method which is still on stack. While this would indicate a serious error for the normal execution flow, in case of ASGCT being in progress when the executing thread can be expected at any possible method this is something which may happen and we really should not take the profiled JVM down due to it.
