2. Has been fixed, but 1. alone still seems to make it fail on slow
machines (like my powerpc machine).

BTW. There was even a case third case why this was an interesting test:
3. It stress tested the interaction between, stackwalking/classloading
and the garbage collector. Hans Boehm fixed a bug with that just before
3.3.
