N/A

Too many arguments:

[  xxxxx@xxxxx     xxxxx@xxxxx  ]: print total_args_passed
total_args_passed = 249

[  xxxxx@xxxxx     xxxxx@xxxxx  ]: print i
i = 247

The addressing (SP + offset) can't be use. Put offset into register using arg_slot() functions:

#ifdef _LP64
  // On _LP64 argument slot values are loaded first into a register
  // because they might not fit into displacement.
  Register arg_slot(const int st_off);
  Register next_arg_slot(const int st_off);

But it happens with less arguments too.  I don't think using arg_slot() is the right thing to do as the outgoing arguments are for compiled frames, not for interpreted ones.  With the suggested fix the adapter for the above method compiles fine and the added testcase is OK.
