When I checked first if it still reproduces, https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla/pull/1751 wasn't integrated yet. And after investigation, it turned out to be the same issue. And after integration of the said PR, the problem didn't show again under much more extensive testing than what was enough to reproduce before.

Then `verify` hits an uncommon trap, and in the process picks the wrong `rfp` by exactly the same mechanism as in [JDK-8367151](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8367151). Later in `test76_verify`, the content of rfp, that now contains a wrong oop, is used, garbage is read, segfault.
