pragativ-splunk opened a new issue, #6164: URL: https://github.com/apache/jmeter/issues/6164
### Expected behavior It should start running threads ### Actual behavior quits in few seconds after below message: `Waiting for possible Shutdown/StopTestNow/HeapDump/ThreadDump message on port 4445` ### Steps to reproduce the problem I have 3 jars in lib/ext which are : opentelemetry-proto-0.20.0-alpha.jar protobuf-java-util-3.23.3.jar and a customized jar which contains class extended from AbstractJavaSamplerClient to parse proto and add random fields for load testing. Note this works as expected in older jmeter 5.5 version. All I do is try to execute the load test using command: > bin/jmeter.sh -t sr-load.jmx -n, my apache-jmeter-5.6.2 folder contains sr-load.jmx and a test-proto.binary which helps parse the proto in custom jar class. Let me know if you need more details. ### JMeter Version 5.6.2 ### Java Version openjdk 17.0.8 2023-07-18 ### OS Version MacOS Ventura 13.6.1 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
