Thanks for finding this. Although it's not ours to fix, it's clearly a concern for the project that Jython should appear broken on Ubuntu. Assuming your report results in an open bug on a tracker somewhere, a link here would be useful.

Mint (that's Linux for wimps) still only offers me Jython 2.5.3 and jline 2.11, so I can't reproduce it. From what you've obeserved I think the problem will be that JLine2 has been compiled with Java 9.

It's nice Ubuntu are keeping up with versions, but I begin to see a problem with this repackaging things. One takes on rather a lot of responsibility for integration.
