Request for reviews (XXXS): 7106907: 64 bit VM fails test compiler/6865265/StackOverflowBug.java

[Vladimir Kozlov]

Hi Volker,

It is known requirement from long time ago to have larger min stack size for 64 
bit VM since it has bigger pointers:

% jdk/1.6/bin/java -d64 -Xss128k -version

The stack size specified is too small, Specify at least 224k
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

% jdk/1.6/bin/java -d64 -Xss224k -version

java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)

It was my mistake that I did not run this test with 64 bit VM when I applied 
your fix.

Regards,
Vladimir
