> On IBM Java 6, there is an occasional failure in Arrays.sort used to sort the strings in the heap.  The failure is an out-of-stack-space error.  It is very intermittent.  I had earlier seen this, and had wrapped the call to Arrays.sort in a try/catch loop which caught the out-of-stack-space.  The code would retry this once, after reversing the array (thinking this would change things to avoid the out-of-memory).  In further extensive use, this error has popped up again, even with this retry.  Need a better workaround.
