sigsegv on porter stemmer (Lucene, but also otherwise)

[Dawid Weiss]

Hello everyone,

I am an Apache Lucene developer, we've been running tests with Java
1.7 and this came up:

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7070134

Porter stemmer is pretty widely used for shallow NLP, not only in
Lucene. It'd be interesting to hear from jit gurus what's causing this
(the problem does not occur in 1.6). Thanks in advance,

Dawid
