Ah, OK. I can see that it would be ideal to see thread dumps with the crash 
from a "vanilla" OpenJDK or Zulu distribution.

Whenever I see an intermittent bug like this, though, my instinct is to avoid 
changing my configuration, in case the bug stops being reproducible. Then I 
will never know what caused it, or when it will return...

True, and pointed out one possible sign of that happening already.

However, I'm still of the view that trying to reproduce with a non-distro JDK 
build is useful.  I've had distro builds that behave differently, crash in odd 
places, and even manage to run more than one EDT at the same time.

Best wishes,
