Missing field: name: Ljava/lang/String; in Klass<Ljava/lang/Thread;> when try to run Java 8 on Espresso

[wschung1994]

Describe the issue
After installing the Espresso on this page:

https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/espresso/

When I run the command on the page to run java 8 on the downloaded espresso

java --java.JavaHome=/path/to/java8/home -version

I am getting the following error:

Internal GraalVM error, please report at https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/.

This is the java 8 version:

java version "1.8.0_60"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)

I also tried the latest version Java 8 which can be downloaded:

java version "1.8.0_431"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_431-b10)

In this case, I am getting the following error:
