The JIRA process crashes with a segmentation fault. The JVM version is either 1.8.0_25 or 1.8.0_31.
The following appears in the atlassian-jira.log:
#

#Cause
This is caused by a bug in the JVM documented at https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8061428 that affects versions 1.8.0_25 and 1.8.0_31. This has been fixed in version 1.8.0_40.
Resolution
Upgrade Java to 1.8.0_40 or later, available for download at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html.
