No explicit limitations of object size are described in JVM Spec
(implicit limitation is 65535*8 bytes).
However VM limits the size of object to 64K bytes:
if the size of object is more than 64K bytes,
VM (JDK1.2fcsH) throws
   java.lang.IternalError: exceeding the 64K byte object size limit.

To reproduce run JCK 1.2beta4 test
  vm/classfmt/lmt/fldnum001/fldnum00101m1/fldnum00101m1.html

The test tries to load valid class with 65535 various length fields.
This test used to pass before fix of security bug#4169277.

The test vm/classfmt/lmt/mthnum/mthnum001/mthnum00101m1/mthnum00101m1.html
also fails, too.
