Building GATK 3.7 and a stackoverflow building Queue Extensions

Occasionally when my CI docker image build runs mvn verify, it gets a stack-overflow error when building GATK Queue Extensions Distribution. This is not 100% of the time and hard to reproduce...sorry for the lack of information. I've tried to capture as much as I could and wondered if anyone else has encountered this in their CI? Increasing the stack size -Xss via MAVEN_OPTS does not help.

Docker information (FROM openjdk:8):

root@fa252cad043a:/opt/gatk# git describe --tags
3.7
root@fa252cad043a:/opt/gatk# cat /etc/debian_version
8.7
root@fa252cad043a:/opt/gatk# java -version
java version "1.8.0_121"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)

I've attached the full log file. But here is a snippet from it:
