This generally indicates a JVM bug and you should report this via the link referenced in the above.

That in itself won't help you in the short term, given the error is in the pre-built JVM and not in your application code. In these scenarios I have had considerable success by upgrading to a later minor JVM version. I see you're using 8.0_65-b17 and there are numerous 8.0 builds superseding this (i.e. not moving up to Java 9, but just a later Java 8 build).

I have also found downgrading on occasions has mitigated such errors.
