jtreg throws StackOverflowError when writing xml report

[Omair Majid]

Hi all,

I am trying to generate xml reports from jtreg. The problem is that 
jtreg throws a StackOverflowError when writing the output xml file when 
running the jdk tests. The xml report works fine for the 16 compiler 
tests and 1351 langtools tests.

I am using Icedtea6 to run the tests. These are the commands it executes:

$ mkdir -p test/jdk/JTwork test/jdk/JTreport
$ /notnfs/omajid/icedtea6/bootstrap/jdk1.6.0/bin/java \
         -Djavatest.report.kinds="xml text html" \
         -jar test/jtreg.jar -v1 -a -ignore:quiet \
         -w:test/jdk/JTwork -r:test/jdk/JTreport \
         -s -jdk:`pwd`/openjdk/control/build/linux-i586/j2sdk-image \
         `pwd`/openjdk/jdk/test \
         | tee test/check-jdk.log

The error appears after the jtreg run completes:

[ lots of output ]

Test results: passed: 3,306; failed: 73; error: 5

Has anyone ever seen this before?

Thanks,
