 The 64-bit Hotspot Server VM (build 1.4.0-beta-b58) -Xcomp crashes while
executing the following test from testbase_nsk:

   nsk/stress/stack/stack002

The segmentation fault is signalled and core dumped. No other error
messages are printed.

The test passes on all other Merlin/hardware configurations and VM modes.

The test provokes StackOverflowError by infinite recursion in a method,
intercepts the exception and continue to invoke that method until the
test exceeds timeout, or until VM crashes.
There are no other objects for stressing besides the stack in this test.

The testbase_nsk location:
    /net/sqesvr.eng/export/vsn/VM/testbase/testbase_nsk.v14

To reproduce the failure:

   1. cd /net/sqesvr.eng/export/vsn/GammaBase/Bugs/<this bug number>
   2. sh ./doit.sh $JAVA_HOME $JAVA_OPTS
 
 where JAVA_OPTS equals to "-d64 -Xcomp".
