FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-b92)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-b92, mixed mode)


Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
If OptionPane.showMessageDialog() is called from within the
verify() method of a InputVerifier class which is attached
to a JTextField component the syetem goes into an infinite
loop and eventually crashes with a Stack overflow.



REGRESSION. Last worked in version 1.3

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
You would expect the verify method to be able to display a
messsage to the user and continue on normally. This can't
be an unusual thing to do.

This bug can be reproduced always.
