Comment 0 for bug 1787422

Dear all,

following situation:

* @AWS i've created a VM using the AMI-Image ami-047c33b824c3c615d
* downloaded the official Oracle JDK 1.8.181 (jdk-8u181-linux-x64.tar.gz)
* started "javac" to compile a HelloWorld.java

- as a result the machine became unavailable, i assume , the javac invocation produces a kernel panic and the VM resets.

To reproduce:
1. create a 64bit VM using ami-image ami-047c33b824c3c615d
2. download the Oracle JDK 1.8.181 (jdk-8u181-linux-x64.tar.gz) and extract
3. launch "javac"
4. Even the invocation of "javac" binary is sufficient to reset the machine.

It does NOT happen with e.g. Kernel "linux-image-3.13.0-151-generic".

VM data:

1)
root@packer:~# lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release: 14.04
root@packer:~#
2)
root@packer:~# apt-cache policy linux-image-3.13.0-155-generic
linux-image-3.13.0-155-generic:
  Installed: 3.13.0-155.205
  Candidate: 3.13.0-155.205

3) No VM reset happens
4) VM resets

I've also tried it @ a local vagrant machine - the behavior here is slightly different -
the "javac" does NOT freezes/resets the machine, but if i compile something, e.g. an elementary "HelloWorld.java", it does NOT procuces a ".class" file, quitting silently.
