One might argue that running a "popular workload" with a small stack
size makes the workload "not so popular". I dunno.
I understand your argument. It makes perfect sense. But the question
remains. Is this a bug that has to be fixed in Q2 or in 2008? Is it
acceptable to simply bump up the stack size to get Q2 workloads
running?
What's a "Q2 workload"?
I do think that this is important if people are going to start
trusting harmony as being predictable and stable. Yes, we can
predict that it will SEGV, but there is no "java.lang.SEGV" to catch
and handle :)
