Bug: incompatibility with OpenJDK 1.8.0_242 (AdoptOpenJDK)

Describe the bug

java-agent 1.17.0 is incompatible with OpenJDK 1.8.0_242 (AdoptOpenJDK). if I launched a tomcat server (8.5.54) with java-agent 1.17.0, and OpenJDK 1.8.0_242 (AdoptOpenJDK), web applications are not started. If I run the same tomcat server with same apps, but with OpenJDK 1.8.0_212 (AdoptOpenJDK) or Oracle JDK 1.8.0_202, it works fine.

Steps to reproduce

Just start tomcat server with above configuration.

Expected behavior

tomcat starts cleanly and especially web apps are loaded.

Debug logs

I see no tomcat log at all at startup (when used with OpenJDK 1.8.0_212, I get tomcat startup logs).

@eyalkoren sorry, totally forgot to reply. Your snapshot is running since 2 July ~14:00 without any issue.

I will try to test your snapshot fix next Tuesday.
