A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
A dummy program with 2 classes : A creates B and B creates A producing an infinite loop.


THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Yes

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Did not try

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
B.class is the bytecode.
java -Xss250m B crashes.
Reducing the stack size make a clean termination generating a Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError but no Stacktrace

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Attached seperatly

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
public class B {
static int nb;
A va;
B(){
++nb;
try {
va = new A();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("B "+nb);
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args){
B b=new B();
}
}
public class A {
B vb;
static int na;
A(){
++na;
try {
vb=new B();
} catch (RuntimeException e) {
System.out.println("A "+na);
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Then java -Xss250m B crashes.
