FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "9-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9-ea+116)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-ea+116, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10586]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The java.util.function.Consumer interface has a utility "andThen" method for chaining Consumers. The implementation calls each Consumer recursively, and a long chain leads to a stack overflow. The other functional interfaces might have similar problems.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Construct a long Consumer chain, by calling the andThen method.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Expected to see a long printout of dots.
ACTUAL -
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.StackOverflowError
        at java.util.function.Consumer.lambda$andThen$0(java.base@9-ea/Consumer.java:65)
        at java.util.function.Consumer.lambda$andThen$0(java.base@9-ea/Consumer.java:65)
        at java.util.function.Consumer.lambda$andThen$0(java.base@9-ea/Consumer.java:65)
...

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
public class ConsumerTest implements Consumer<Object> {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Consumer<Object> c = new ConsumerTest();
        for (int i=0; i<10000; i++) {
            c = c.andThen(new ConsumerTest());
        }
        c.accept(null);
    }

    @Override
    public void accept(Object obj) {
        System.out.print('.');
    }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Define a custom class for chaining Consumers.
