Description
When used with 'collect' on a fairly big MT application (NetBeans), the JVM may
crash in AsyncGetCallTrace(). All symptoms suggest that the stack overflowed.

% collect -j on java -server <app>

EVALUATION Deferring to tiger. ###@###.### 2003-04-17 I fixed one infinite recursion in stack walking in the Mantis-Update batch of bug fixes. I found the thread stuck in the for-loop that walks the sender chain in forte_is_walkable_frame(). The for-loop tried walking the stack and found a self-referential frame so we just kept walking the same set of frames over and over. I have not been able to reproduce the original failure mode. Marty has agreed that we can consider this bug fixed.
