Hello all!  
I am currently working on a test instance of logstash. It has been working fine until recently I did a service logstash restart because I change a configuration file slightly. Since then logstash won't start. It just continually restarts and posts this message to syslog.

```
logstash[6587]: [ERROR] 2018-04-13 15:06:48.901 [main] Logstash - java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.jruby.exceptions.RaiseException: (LoadError) load error: jopenssl -- java.lang.RuntimeException: BUG: we can not copy embedded jar to temp directory

```

The server is running Ubuntu 16.04  
Logstash was installed using .deb

The configuration I changed was just removing a whole filter line from a conf.d file. The change shouldn't be causing this kind of error.  
Any help would be great!  
Thanks,  
Devin

I rebooted the server and now the error message has changed slightly.  
logstash[2669]: [ERROR] 2018-04-13 15:39:18.991 [main] Logstash - java.lang.IllegalStateException: org.jruby.exceptions.RaiseException: (RuntimeError)
