A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When I run the test below on windows/jdk1.3.1 ,nothing
happened.  Same on Solaris 2.8.  But when I run it on linux/jdk1.3.1/
1.4.0 /1.4.1, it crashed with OutOfMemoryError.

However, it seems that using the -Xincgc flag prevents the Error
from occuring.


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
run the program on linux with any version of j2sdk for
about more than 10 minutes, then you might see
OutOfMemoryError. I am not quite sure if it is a bug or I
misunderstand the spec.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
OutOfMemoryError.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
No stacktrace available.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
