Just discussed this on <#C0A974TJ9|ktor> ... coworker getting `java.lang.VerifyError` on ktor application startup --  <https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0A974TJ9/p1536169797000100> -- turned out his Kotlin plugin was not up-to-date. Kotlin plugin authors, is this a known issue and is there any plan to improve the failure mode for this situation?

That’s most probably incremental compilation failure in JPS bug, please report if you see it on the latest Kotlin plugin, we did a lot of work in this area, so bugs are possible unfortunately.

<@U88184UBZ> I don't think it was an incremental compilation problem. My coworker and I tried multiple rounds of clean, rebuild all, including resetting the IJ cache as well as starting from clean `.gradle` and `.m2` directories. The application failed to start, throwing the VerifyError every time until the Kotlin plugin was updated.
