This may not be of much help, but:

I don't know which java version you are using, but the newest Mustang (Java SE 6) snapshot release ( https://mustang.dev.java.net/ ) might reveal some extra useful information.

The Mustang VM tries to include the stack trace when an OutOfMemoryError occurs, so maybe there's a similar feature for StackOverflowErrors?

Browsing through the blog at http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/sundararajan?entry=observability_highlights_of_mustang I wasn't able to find a direct answer to your question, but some of the tools listed there might be worth a try.

The Java 5 Troubleshooting Guide may also provide some helpful information:
