REGRESSION: Consume too much memory and application error occurs

When we executed the attached program in 1.4.1-b18, it never returns any
message and then Windows show the message which notify the warnning
of memory short with a dialogue.
However, this program terminates normally in 1.3.1_04.
This looks regression.

1. Reproducing
  1) Compile the attached progarm
  2) Invoke the class

2. Configration
  MPU: Pentium IV 1.4[GHz]
  Mem: 384 [ MB]
  OS : Windows2000 professional (Sp2, Japanese)
  JRE/JDK: 1.4.1

   H:\TEMP\deopti>java -version
   java version "1.4.1-rc"
   Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1-rc-b18)
   Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1-rc-b18, mixed mode)

3. Note

 1) As I mention the above, this issue does not happen in 1.3.1_04.
    I recommend to try it in 1.3.1_04 first in order to confirm how this
    program works.

H:\TEMP\deopti>java -version
java version "1.3.1_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1_04-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1_04-b02, mixed mode)

H:\TEMP\deopti>javac *.java

H:\TEMP\deopti>java OSR0007C
OSR0007C_T2::func()
end

 2) When locale is set to "English(U.S)" and the program is executed in
    1.4, the following message may be output although I did not confirmed
    it.
===>
Exception java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: requested 168 bytes

runtime error R6017
- unexpected multithread lock error

<===

 3) If you open the task manager, you can see the memory going short easily.
