Description

This is very similar to SUREFIRE-1422, but is still present intermittently on version 2.21.0 as well as 2.20.1.  It was not present on 2.19.1.

The symptom is that all tests run fine (the reports are there), but as soon as they do, there is an error:

The forked VM terminated without properly saying goodbye. VM crash or System.exit called?
 ...
Process Exit Code: 0

This of course fails the build.

This occurs on roughly half the builds (with 2.21.0, at least).

Maven version 3.5.3. Java 1.8.0_162. OS/X 10.13.3.

Selected output from mvn -X

[DEBUG] Forking command line: /bin/sh -c cd /Users/lwest/git/caas/jsk-cc && /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_162.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/bin/java -jar /Users/lwest/git/caas/jsk-cc/target/surefire/surefirebooter4496843559994461722.jar /Users/lwest/git/caas/jsk-cc/target/surefire 2018-03-16T16-08-09_300-jvmRun1 surefire3972773662020453876tmp surefire_06790995305937656848tmp

... then, after all the tests have run, successfully, it reports failure:

There are no "[date]-jvmRun[N].dump", "[date].dumpstream" or "[date]-jvmRun[N].dumpstream" files.

Addendum

One detail that is perhaps not relevant is that our projects always use file.encoding=UTF-8, but I see that ForkStarter has hard-coded ISO_8859_1 as the StreamCharset param to executeCommandLineAsCallable().
