From the above we can see that this crash occurred inside the JVM layer, specifically in the GCTaskThread.  Additionally, you are running Oracle's JDK:

  # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (16.0-b13 mixed mode linux-amd64 )

As this crash occurred inside the JDK layer, and we do not provide this JDK, I would strongly recommend contacting Oracle to determine if there are any known bugs.  Searching their knowledge base I was able to find the following which is very similar:

  JDK-6952590 : SIGSEGV in GCTaskThread
  http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6952590

However, I would contact Oracle to confirm that this is issue is a match, or to determine if there is another known issue inside this JDK.

Please let me know if you have any questions on the above.

Sincerely,

Christian Huffman

Anyone from oracle support team , could you please advice on the above issue asap as we are facing this issues frequently.
