Throws VM error - when trying to overflow the stack & expecting stack overflow error on Redhat7.2(64) Itanium machine .
The same test works properly on Redhat7.2(32) .

To reproduce , run the test program below with Hopper b12 on Redhat7.2(64)

Test program
-------------
public class StackError{
    int recursiveDepth =15000;

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      
          StackError se = new StackError();
          se.recursive(1);
     
    }
    void recursive(int i) {
    try{
    
       i = i +1;
          if (i <recursiveDepth) {
              recursive(i);
          }
       } catch(StackOverflowError sofle) {
       System.out.println("Stack overflow error");
       sofle.printStackTrace();
       }
       
    }
  
}
