VM crash when a Text is set to have a very large wrapping width

This hard-crashes the VM for me:

{code}
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.scene.layout.GridPane;

public class Test extends Application
{

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) throws Exception {
        final Text nameNode = new Text("hello");
        nameNode.setWrappingWidth(Double.MAX_VALUE);

        final GridPane grid = new GridPane();
        grid.add(nameNode, 0, 0, 1, 1);

        final Scene scene = new Scene(grid);

        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }

}
{code}

Why am I setting the wrapping width to Double.MAX_VALUE? I'm new to JavaFX and was trying to make it fill its container, as in this tutorial http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/layout/size_align.htm.
