Hello!
An integer overflow during array size calculation can happen in a case
of loading extremely huge class file (which is unlikely in the real world).
It is possible to create a regression test (see the bug), though I doubt
it would carry much weight while requiring much memory.
I did check manually that the POC runs fine with the patched JDK.
Would you please help review the fix?
