Description

### Description of the bug:

One of our CI jobs recently had a server terminated abruptly exception when running a `bazel build //...`

### Which category does this issue belong to?

Core

### What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

I'm not sure how to reproduce this issue and it's the first time this has happened to us in 8.2.0 over a lot of builds.

I've attached the `.ips` for the Java process during the crash.

### Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

macOS 15.5

8.2.0

### If `bazel info release` returns `development version` or `(@non-git)`, tell us how you built Bazel.

### What's the output of `git remote get-url origin; git rev-parse HEAD` ?
