Hang occurs with the following version: (Both Client and Server)

java version "1.3.1-rc1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-rc1-b19)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.3.1-rc1-b19-debug, compiled mode)

Problem also occurs with client VM.
Problem does not occur with -Xcomp.
Problem appears to be fixed in 1.4

Here's the command line:

$ java -server -XX:CompileThreshold=2 -version

Here's some tracing output:

$ java_g -server -XX:CompileThreshold=2 -XX:+TraceClassInitialization -XX:+TraceInvocationCounterOverflow -version
VM option 'CompileThreshold=2'
VM option '+TraceClassInitialization'
VM option '+TraceInvocationCounterOverflow'

...

This is not an urgent problem but we would like the fix.
