InChIKey functionality crashes with "Exception: java.lang.StackOverflowError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "process reaper""

[meowcat]

I describe the issue here because rinchi is just a wrapper around this functionality, and nothing we can change in rinchi would make a difference to this issue:

library(rcdk)
library(rinchi)
mol <- parse.smiles("CCCC")
rinchi::get.inchi.key(mol[[1]])

results in: Exception: java.lang.StackOverflowError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "process reaper"

To reproduce:

docker run --rm -it bioconductor/bioconductor_docker:devel
# in the docker
apt-get update
apt-get install openjdk-17-jdk-headless
# same error with built-in jdk11 and with jdk18 and 19
R CMD javareconf
R

in R:

install.packages(c("rcdk", "rJava")) # alternatively from github
install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("CDK-R/rinchi")

Digging into the haystack, I can trigger the error by doing:

jnainchi<- J("io.github.dan2097.jnainchi.JnaInchi") which is used called in CDK here: https://github.com/cdk/cdk/blob/d60aaa15c9c4edb3a0103e6d5a1d8ffacc235435/storage/inchi/src/main/java/org/openscience/cdk/inchi/InChIGenerator.java#L537

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: The docker is based on Ubuntu 22.04.1, the host is running Debian 10.
• Java Version: tested 11, 17, 18, 19
• R Version: R-devel as of today Tested from both commandline R and Rstudio.

Interestingly, I do not have the error on R 4.2.0, rJava 1.0-6, rcdk 3.7.0, rcdklibs 2.8 on Windows.
