(This bug was reported by JDK 1.1 EA site: Ignite Technologies -- Warner Losh)

If you give it a switch statement that covers a larger range of
values (our example covers a range of 99999000, which is << 2^31),
then javac will fail with an OutOfMemoryError exception. The 1.0.2
JDK javac compiles the following example without complaint.

% cat Foo.java
class Foo {
public void bar(int ch) {
    switch ( ch ) {
       case 1: break;
       case 99999001: break;
}}}
% /opt/jdk-1.1A/java/bin/javac Foo.java
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
