Description
The stack detection code in 1.4.1 was written before Redhat Enterprise Linux AS 3.0 kernel changes for 4GB kernel heap existed. J2SDK 1.4.2 runs ok. The message is

Fatal: Stack size too small. Use 'java -Xss' to increase default stack size.

The 3GB version of the kernel does work

SUGGESTED FIX When calculating initial_thread_stack_bottom use code from IA64 calculation to get initial_sp (file os_linux.cpp) and not use INITIAL_THREAD_STACK_BASE There may be other changes required but this allowed the JRE to run a simple 2d demo ###@###.### 2003-10-07 http://jpsesvr.sfbay:8080/ctetools/html/ViewDetail.jsp?index=802
