ExceptionInInitializerError on Android 5

[Jeff11]

kotlin:1.3.21, kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.1.1

I'm getting reports of ExceptionInInitializerError from Android 5 devices.

GlobalScope is used here, because the coroutines should not depend on Android's activity or fragment lifecycle. On other places I'm extending CoroutineScope and don't see crashes there.

When calling await() inside GlobalScope.launch{ }:

And directly when calling GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) { }:
