printStackTrace throwing java.lang.StackOverflowError

Hi,
 
I'm using Apache Tomcat 5.0.18, I'm getting  a
"java.lang.StackOverflowError" while trying to do a printStackTrace for
an Exception (java.lang.Exception). 
 
The code is working fine when it is running on IBM Websphere Application
Server 4.0, but fails when I put it in Tomcat.
 
The stack trace is attached

Hi There,

It looks like an exeception to do with either a recursive method call or a
problem with inheritenance.
