Bug Fix(es):

• A virtual machine crash was observed in JDK 11.0.19 when executing the GregorianCalender.computeTime() method (JDK-8307683). It was found that although the root cause of the crash is an old issue, a recent fix for a rare issue in the C2 compiler (JDK-8297951) made the crash much more likely. To mitigate this, the fix has been reverted in JDK 11.0.20 and will be reapplied once JDK-8307683 is resolved. (RHBZ#2222495)
