Upgrading apache spark core from 3.3.2 to >=3.4.4 results in stackoverflowerror in logging - Stack Overflow

I have an application with embedded spark-libraries. Everything is working find with spark-core v3.3.2. After upgrading to >= 3.4.4 getting a sparksession results in an stackoverflow exception within slf4j.

I've tried to fiddle out what is changed and tried reconfigure logging, but without any effect.

Any suggestions?

I've tried switching sl4j-nop and slf4j-simple configurations. I've tried using spark 3.5.4. I've tried switching logging levels

Nothing helps
