[ale] Irrecoverable stack overflow has occured

[Mike Millson]

FYI in case anyone else is having this same problem, I installed Sun's
JDK1.4 (release candidate), and it solved this problem, just as Jakarta
documentation advertised.

Subject: [ale] Irrecoverable stack overflow has occured


I'm using RH7.1, kernel 2.4.9-21. I installed the release version of Jakarta
4.0.1 in binary format. Whenever I start tomcat, I get the following lines
in my catalina.out log file:

Starting service Tomcat-Standalone
Apache Tomcat/4.0.2
An irrecoverable stack overflow has occurred.
...
An irrecoverable stack overflow has occurred.
Starting service Tomcat-Standalone
Apache Tomcat/4.0.2

The elipsis stands for 20 more occurrence of the stack overflow error
statement.

It looks like it is starting, dying, then starting again.

In the release documentation it says that virtual machine crashes can be
experience when using certain combinations of kernel / glibc under Linux
with Sun Hotspot 1.2 to 1.3. I'm using JDK1.3.1_01 and glibc 2.2.4-19.3. It
says you can fix the problem by reducing the default stack size with a
"ulimit -s 2048" and defining an environment variable "export
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5". None of this fixed the problem for me.

Does anyone have any experience, comments, or recommendations how I can get
rid of this buffer overflow problem? Anything I can do to Linux? Should I
use the IBM JDK for Linux instead of Sun's? Should I upgrade to the release
candidate 1.4 JDK from Sun? Apparently the IBM JDK for Linux and Sun's 1.4
don't have this problem.

Thank you,
Mike
