How can I fix constant freezes in Android Studio due to a StackOverflowError on Android NDK Support?

Question

I am running Android Studio 3.0.1 on Windows 10 64-bit.

Lately Android Studio freezes constantly. After it recovers, I can see an IDE Fatal Error report, caused by a stackoverflow error on NDK Support.

Details:

I set up my own NDK (ndk-r17c) specified in Project Structure Android NDK Location and in the environment variables: ANDROID_NDK and ANDROID_NDK_HOME I am using the default Android NDK Support plugin version 1.0

Here is a stack trace of the problem

From that point on,the stacktrace repeats several times until, of course, there is a stack overflow

I have already tried rebooting and invalidating cache, but it does not help.
