javac throwing StackOverflowException

Has anyone run into problems with javac throwing a StackOverflowException?
I am trying to compile a package with 24 files.  When it gets to #8 (which
happens to contain a fairly large class), the compiler throws a
StackOverflowException.

I found that if I build the first seven files in one compile, and then
build the remainder of the package in a separate compile, I can build
everything.  However, if I try to build the entire package from the command
line, from Ant, or from within Forte, the exception is thrown. (I am
referring to building the entire package from a clean directory)

Fortunately, I have the workaround I mentioned above right now, but this is
obviously not desirable. I also don't know how reliable that workaround is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Liam
