Kestrel HotSpot Server build Solaris_JDK_1.3-b08 fails the test
nsk/regression/b4236158 from testbase_nsk.

The test launches infinite recursion and expects StackOverflowError exception
but instead VM crashes.

This happens only for -server option, -hotspot works OK.

To reproduce the bug run
doit <jdk root directory> -server
in
/net/sqesvr/vsn/GammaBase/Bugs/<this bug number>

The test produces the output:

$ doit /export/ld24/java/hotspot/Solaris_JDK_1.3-b08 -server
java version "1.3"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build Solaris_JDK_1.3-b08)
