Yes, I am afraid it does indeed fail.

When passed -Xss16K the VM reports that it needs a minimum stack size of
320K. However running the program fails with a StackOverflow when you
provide that value.

n.b. execution does work with a stack size of 360K. Do you have an
explanation as to why the value reported by -Xss hits a StackOverflow
(while 360K does not)?
