When Jcov agent loads a class containing large constant pool entry whose
size does not fit in 15 bits (> 32767), "out of memory" error occurs.
Example of such class is sun.io.CharToByteEUC_TW. The bug occurs
with JDK1.4.0 builds 78 through 83.

To reproduce :

1. Compile a simple program:

> javac a.java

--- a.java ---
public class a {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Class c = Class.forName("sun.io.CharToByteEUC_TW");
} catch (Throwable e) {
}
}
}
--- end of a.java ---

2. Run this class with Jcov enabled:

> java -cp . -Xrunjcov:type=m a

The output will be:
*** JCOV error : ***out of memory***
