I think you have your answer in the stack traces. The problem arise when you (or nashorn) call eval().
I see two solutions, either ask Nashorn guys why they create callsites too often when you use eval() in javascript or stop using eval() in your js script ! (if eval() is something you use and not something nashorn uses internally).
