Chris, >From my experience, any Java project once it gets complex starts having to use some -X option (and all JVMs support them), so I wouldn't be too worried about that. Radu

Can I get you to file a jira issue to track this?

This explains a lot as we're using 64bit linux. I can't find what the default stack sizes were in java5 though. I guess I'll just have to add a -Xss parameter to my application although this doesn't fill me with confidence, "Options that begin with -X are non-standard (not guaranteed to be supported on all VM implementations), and are subject to change without notice in subsequent releases of the JDK." - http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/hotspot/vmoptions.jsp Chris wrote: > I have come across a repeatable error and enclose the test case. > When the following xml is validated with a ValidatingStreamReader it > causes an SOE. > If the sample string is shorter, this does not happen.
