JDK 1.4.0-b56 cannot start 64-bit java and java_g VMs with option -Xss64k
on Solaris Sparc in all modes.

Output for java:

#../jdk1.4.0beta-b56/solsparc/bin/java -d64 -Xss64k -version
#Error occurred during initialization of VM
#java.lang.StackOverflowError

Output for java_g:

#../jdk1.4.0beta-b56/solsparc/bin/java_g -d64 -Xss64k -version
#Segmentation Fault

Java and java_g VMs successfuly start with -Xss128k option:

#../jdk1.4.0beta-b56/solsparc/bin/java -d64 -Xss128k -version
#java version "1.4.0-beta"
#Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-beta-b56)
#Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.4-beta-B56, mixed mode)

Note that trying to specify the stack size less then 64k, output is:

#../jdk1.4.0beta-b56/solsparc/bin/java -d64 -Xss63k -version
#
#The stack size specified is too small, Specify at least 64k
#Could not create the Java virtual machine.

The failure looks like a regression of the known bug
