Java 2 SDK 1.3.1-b1 (solx86) fails the testbase_nsk test:
    nsk/stress/jck122/b4303155
which stresses-out the JCK 1.2.2 tests:
    lang/FP/fpl007/fpl00702m1/fpl00702m1.html
    lang/FP/fpl007/fpl00702m1/fpl00702m2.html
by executing the JCK test several times on the same JVM.

The tests fpl00702m1 and fpl00702m2 are intended to provoke
inlining of "strictfp" method into default-FP context.
If such inlining happens, calculations are erroneously
performed in default FP mode instead of "strictfp" mode.

The new HS 1.3.1 (solx86) failure looks like a regression of the
known HS 1.3 (win32) bug:
    4303155 (P3/S4) inlining of FP-strict method into FP-wide expression

To reproduce this failure, please try the test nsk/stress/jck122/b4303155
found below the 'src' directory in the testbase:
    /net/sqesvr/export/vsn/VM/testbase/testbase_nsk

Here is the script to start this test:
    TEST_NAME=b4303155
    JCK122_LANG=/usr/local/java/jck1.2.2/JCK-runtime-lang-122
    JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jdk1.3.1/x86
    export JAVA_HOME
    CLASSPATH=.:${JCK122_LANG}/classes
    export CLASSPATH
    ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java -version
    ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/javac ${TEST_NAME}.java
    ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java ${TEST_NAME}
    echo $?
