Falling tests : vm/misc/ReflectStackOverflow.java

Regtest-test test vm/misc/ReflectStackOverflow.java fails with java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
with JDK1.4.2-b16, b14, b13, etc. on Suse Linux 7.1.

Please, see bug 4678676 for more details.

The bug is not reproducible if I run it manually with "-Xss512k" switch.

It seems that the problem is that the tested JDK (with -Xss512k switch) is not invoked
directly with a ReflectStackOverflow when running using javatest/jtreg.
Instead Jtreg starts it's own wrapper class (com.sun.javatest.regtest.MainWrapper)
which creates new Thread and ThreadGroup for ReflectStackOverflow class. I suppose
that the test fails due to this reason.

The test passes on my Suse 7.1 machine if I use the following script to start it
from Javatest (I also removed @run tag from ReflectStackOverflow.java):

--------- ReflectStackOverflow.sh ---------
#!/bin/ksh
# @test @(#)ReflectStackOverflow.sh 1.1
# @bug 4785411
# @summary Testing...
# Verify directory context variables are set
# @run shell ReflectStackOverflow.sh

cp ${TESTSRC}/ReflectStackOverflow.java .

${TESTJAVA}/bin/javac -d . ReflectStackOverflow.java
${TESTJAVA}/bin/java -classpath . -Xss512k ReflectStackOverflow

if [ $? = 0 ]
then
   exit 0;
else
   echo "The test fails!"
   exit 1
fi
