SUGGESTED FIX Increase the default stack size to 1Meg. This is double the size that the 32 bit VM has been set to for a few releases.

PUBLIC COMMENTS The default stack size for the 64 bit Sparc VM needs to be increased to 1meg in order to run this test.

EVALUATION There are two problems associated with this bug. 1. The test is using more stack than the default VM settings allow. The 32 bit and 64 bit VM both are configured to use 512K of ThreadSTackSize. The 64 bit VM's default stack size should be increased to double the size of the 32 bit VM because each stack entry is 8 bytes in 64 bit mode instead of 4 bytes. 2. The VM is core dumping instead of catching a stack overflow exception. This second problem is addressed by the fix to bugid: 4477785. ###@###.### 2001-09-25

WORK AROUND IYou can work around this problem by increasing the stack size to 768K. java -ss768k or java -XX:ThreadStackSize=768 ###@###.### 2001-09-25
