stack overflows by java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(Class,int)

[Bojan Antonovic <bojan at antonovic dot com>]

I have a problem with Sun's/Apple's java AND gij. In my code I'm using 
java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(Class,int). But from a point on, I 
can't continue because Array.newInstance and

Bla[] x=new Bla[size];

are producing a StackOverflowError on java and a bus error with gij. The 
point is that I'm NOT in a recursion, because I can see the output on 
the console. gdb shows for gij:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
0x02c243cc in _Jv_InterpMethod::run(void*, ffi_raw*) (this=0x60640, 
retp=0x0, args=0xbf800140) at ../../../gcc-3.4.2/libjava/interpret.cc:786
786     {

Does somebody know how the stack size can be increased, or if this is a 
bug? Array.newInstance is a native method. Giving more memory by -Xmx 
and -Xss doesn't help.

My development has stalled because of this problem! And workarounds have 
shown new problems with gij and gcj, like it can be seen in the other 
postings !
