Description

Name: dkC59003			Date: 03/23/2000



The shell-imposed stack size limit set to value less than 2048k
causes crash of the Hotspot Client VM (build 1.3.0rc2-Y) on Solaris.

This bug prevents the regression test (testbase_nsk)
nsk/regression/regresab44 to pass.

The Classic VM does not crash.

See logs (for cshell):

EVALUATION This is too risky to fix in the kestrel solaris 1.3 reference release. It is already fixed in the source base for the kestrel solaris fcs. arches% limit stacksize stacksize 2047 kbytes arches% /usr/java1.3/bin/java -version Can't have stack larger than 2047 KB for main thread; See limit(1) to increase the stack size for your main thread arches% limit stacksize 2048k arches% /usr/java1.3/bin/java -version java version "1.3" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Solaris_JDK_1.3-b10) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3-b09, mixed mode)
