Error "java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException" while starting HTTPS 12c server

I got below error 
./startComponent.sh ohs1
Starting system Component ohs1 ...

Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) ...

Welcome to WebLogic Server Administration Scripting Shell

Type help() for help on available commands

Reading domain from /oracle/webserver/user_projects/domains/base_domain


Error: java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException

Exiting WebLogic Scripting Tool.

To fix it we need to go to 

cd $HOME

 there will be a hidden folder .wlst

Inside it file  nm-key-base_domain.props got corrupted, so delete it and re-run

Worked after that.
