John is this still an issue with latest JDK 1.4 and if so are we going to target a fix for 1.4 Merlin or a later release like hopper?

The java runtime function writeBytes allocates a buffer on the stack to use
to call JVM_Write and because of the low stack situation, the VM runs into
the yellow pages, so has no room to invoke the signal handler to handle
stack overflow.
