Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0rc1-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0rc1-b17, mixed mode)

The following test example crashes vm with "Segmentation fault" error
or with error 4F533F4C494E55580E43505005BC in client and server mode
under Linux JDK 1.3.

The test always passes in classic mode and under Solaris JDK 1.3.

        int i = counter;
        if(counter < 2) counter += Runner();
