Both latest J2SDK 1.3-b27 (sparc) and JDK 1.4-b29 (both sparc & win32)
crash under the folowing test:

    import java.io.*;
    public class stack003 {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            int exitCode = run(args,System.out);
            System.exit(exitCode + 95);
        }
        public static int run (String args[], PrintStream out) {
            int depth;
            for (depth=1; ; depth++)
                try {
                    recurse(depth);
                } catch (StackOverflowError soe) {
                    break;
                };
            out.println("Max. depth: " + depth);
            for (int i=0; i<100; i++)
                try {
                    recurse(2 * depth);
                    out.println("?");
                } catch (StackOverflowError soe) {
                    // OK.
                };
            return 0;
        }
        static void recurse (int depth) {
            if (depth > 0)
                recurse(depth - 1);
        }
    }

On win32, java.exe crashes with exit code=128.

On SPARC, java dumps core, and diagnostics like following is displayed:
    
    >>>> java -showversion stack003
    java version "1.4.0beta"
    Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0beta-b29)
    Java HotSpot(TM) Core VM (build 1.3-internal, interpreted mode)

    Max. depth: 3785
    An irrecoverable stack overflow has occurred.

FYI, such ErrorID decodes like: "os_solaris.cpp, 1929"
