I think his point is that in jdk1.4.2-p7 it prints out the
StackOverflowError message as expected, but in jdk1.5.0-p2 it core
dumps.

Hi Steve,

Whatever the VM will do on an uncaught error is up to the implementation.
So dumping the stack trace when hitting a StackOverflowError is well within
the specification of the JVM. That it is not the same as in 1.4.2 is 
something
he didn't address. So I stand by my comments of before ;)

Kind regards,
