Stack overflow occurred in println() crashes VM (jdk1.2.2O/solaris with JIT on).
The same bug occurs in all JDK versions (jdk1.2beta4K, jdk1.2fcs, jdk1.2.1,
jdk1.2.2, jdk1.3A) where JIT is turned on by default.

novo7% cat resourcearea001.java
public class resourcearea001 {

    public static int ist(int iprm) {
System.out.println("#ist#");
return iprm + ist(-iprm);
    }

    public static void main(String argv[]) {
try{
int iii = ist(7);
} catch (StackOverflowError e) {
System.out.println("StackOverflowError");
}
    }
}

jdk1.2.2O java (and others mentioned above) works fine if println() is
removed or if JIT is turned off:

novo7% cat resourcearea001.java
public class resourcearea001 {

    public static int ist(int iprm) {
// System.out.println("#ist#");
return iprm + ist(-iprm);
    }

    public static void main(String argv[]) {
try{
int iii = ist(7);
} catch (StackOverflowError e) {
System.out.println("StackOverflowError");
}
    }
}
novo7% jdk1.2.2O/solaris/bin/javac resourcearea001.java
novo7% jdk1.2.2O/solaris/bin/java resourcearea001
