Hi Valhallians

From looking at the interaction between primitive classes and records, I stumbled upon a problem with redefining primitive classes through JVMTI. I tried fixing it myself, but it really needs the attention of one of the elders. My finding are at https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8274800 <https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8274800> where there’s also a link to my branch with the attempted fix.
