BurpSuite not running on Java version 8u45, had to downgrade to 7u75

Hi, I recently tried running BurpSuite (current version) and was unable to run it with Java 8u45. I downgraded Java to 7u75 and it worked again. Has anyone else seen this error? # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: # # EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x73064580, pid=5952, tid=1480 # # JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0_40-b25) (build 1.8.0_40-b25) # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (25.40-b25 mixed mode windows-x86 ) # Problematic frame: # C [MSVCR80.dll+0x14580] # # Failed to write core dump.

This looks like a native crash in the Java process itself. Things like this are sometimes caused by compatibility issues with the OS in a particular set up (e.g. a particular video driver). You could try reinstalling Java (or a different version or vendor). Reverting to Java 7 is a reasonable solution if that works - provided you aren't running Java in your browser, using Java 7 for a desktop program like Java shouldn't in itself present any security issues.
