Bailout: failed spill-split-recycle sanity check - running SPECjvm98 javac

The following compilation failure was seen running SPECjvm98 javac sub-test with the following build and arguments:

/software/java/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java -server -Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:+AggressiveHeap -XX:+PrintCompilation -XX:+CITime -XX:CICompi
lerCount=1 -XX:+DisableExplicitGC
java version "1.4.2-rc"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-rc-b20)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-rc-b20, mixed mode)

The error is intermittent, but does alway occur at the same method below.

  7% ! spec.benchmarks._213_javac.MethodExpression::checkValue @ 924 (1030 bytes)
Bailout: failed spill-split-recycle sanity check
  7 COMPILE FAILED


SPECjvm98 version 1.04_01 20001213

zip file of the test and run script can be found here:
/net/thirdeye.east/software/performance/jvm98/jvm98.bailout.zip

to run test, copy above zip file to test directory and decompress:
change path to JVM in runjvm98-javac.sh file
change results veriable to an output directory.

The script with run test 10 times, the bailout should occur within the ten runs.
