HotSparc 1.0.1-betaD crashes while executing the test
    nsk/regression/b4224903
and the following diagnostics is printed:

    #
    # HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, assertion failure
    #
    # assert((!Klass::cast(holder)->should_be_initialized()) ||
          (instanceKlass::cast(holder)->is_being_initialized() &&
              method->name() == vmSymbols::class_initializer_name()),
          "must be initialized at this point")
    # Error ID: /net/mizu/usr/re/hotsparc1.0.1/src/solaris_only/
          hotsparc_beta_jvmg/build/solaris/../../
          src/share/vm/runtime/javaCalls.cpp, 307 [ Patched ]
    #

I used the following environment to execute this test:
Sun Ultra-1, 200MHz, 128Mb RAM, Solaris 2.7
HotSparc 1.0.1-betaA was installed over JDK 1.2.2W

The test is intended to reveal the bug:
    #4224903 3-29-99 Hotspot throws stack over flow running the attached
program.

The test passes under HotSparc 1.0-fcsG, and under HotSpot releases for windows
1.0.1-betaD, 1.3-betaL, and 2.0-devA, and under classic VM versions 1.2, 1.2.1,
1.2.2, 1.3 both for Win32 and for Sparc.

The test could be found in the hotspot testbase:
