Corrupted STDOUT by directly writing to native stream in forked JVM 1 with UTF-8 console logging

Details

    Description

       With 3.0.0-M6 surefire and slf4j + logback, most test runs end up with:

      [WARNING] Corrupted channel by directly writing to native stream in forked JVM 1. 

      This only affects 3.0.0-M6 (3.0.0-M5 version is working fine in test project).

       
      After some digging, there are two different scenarios (most likely caused by the same issue):

      • 2-byte character at position 1023 (or N * 1024 - 1) in log message is causing the following warning
        [WARNING] Corrupted channel by directly writing to native stream in forked JVM 1.
        

        To reproduce this issue logback (with slf4j) should be used.
        Not able to reproduce with System.out.println.

      • 4-byte character at position 1023 (or N * 1024 - 1) in log message.
        Can be reproduced with System.out.println (logback not required in this case).
        This blocks surefire entirely at (from jstack):

      One workaround on M6 for now is to use different charset (instead of default UTF-8) or limit message size.
