java.io.IOException: Heap dump is broken with visualvm 2.0.4

Description
Opening a Oracle JDK 1.8_131 hprof file in the latest visualvm 2.0.4 results in the following error:

I have enabled console logging, so this is what I see:

INFO [org.graalvm.visualvm.heapdump.impl.HeapDumpView]: Failed to load heap dump
java.io.IOException: Heap dump is broken.

I tried this with the older version i had - v2.0.2 and it just hangs here:

I then tried it with jvisualvm from an older Oracle JDK v1.8_161 and it parses fine:

Steps to reproduce
This is an end customers heapdump which I'm afraid I cannot share at the moment. I am still seeing if I can reproduce this issue on my local environment and make it available.

Expected behavior

Since it is evident that jvisualvm from 1.8_161 was able to open the heapdump, visualvm 2.0.4 could be made tolerant to this kind of heap inconsistency.

Eclipse MAT also has a strictness mode setting where we can toggle it between "Strict" and "Warning".

Keeping it to WARNING will parse this heapdump.
More on that in the eclipse bug here - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=404679
