Endless loops in computation code (1.6.0_22).

Yep, I realize this is the case, I even mentioned it in my original post.
Let me double check that we're not doing something non-deterministic first
though... but if you'd like to try then...

Mind this is happening infrequently (but on different machines, different
OSs, etc.).  Here's the procedure:

git clone git at github.com:carrotsearch/jsuffixarrays.git
cd jsuffixarrays
# while (true)? {
mvn test
# }

I've just done the above and it hung on the first execution... the next one
it didn't, the third one it did again. So maybe it is happening more
frequently than less. The JRE I did it on is:

java version "1.6.0_20"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode)

But it applies to newer versions as well.

The particular class that is causing this is DivSufSort (DivSufSortTest),
but I don't know what causes this to happen, so I'd run all of them (these
are parallel testng tests).

I also didn't check with the trunk HotSpot, so it may be something that's
already been fixed.
