Second stack overflow crashes HotSpot VM

Name: dkC59003 Date: 10/15/99



HotSpot 1.3fcs-K (solaris) crashes when StackOverflowError occurs in
a loop.
Win32 VM in mixed mode outputs this message once and silently exits
which does not look correct as well.
Classic and win32 VM in -Xint mode output expected triple
"StackOverflowError exception occurred" message.
Log and test source follow:

$ java test
StackOverflowError exception occurred
An irrecoverable stack overflow has occurred.

HotSpot crashes when second stack overflow occurs. Classic does not.

JCK testsuite cannot be passed in singleJVM mode because
of this bug: there are two tests in JCK that throw StackOverflowError
(vm/concepts/exceptions/exceptions031/exceptions03101 and
vm/concepts/exceptions/exceptions031/exceptions03102)

Test program
--------------------------------------------- test.java ---

public class test {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      overflow("First overflow");
      overflow("Second overflow");
   }
   static void runner() {
      runner();
   }
   static void overflow(String msg) {
      try {
         runner();
      } catch (StackOverflowError e) {
         System.out.println(msg);
      }
   }
}

Being run on WinNT, HotSpot crashes too, without
any diagnostics but with exitcode 128.
