[jira] [Commented] (XALANJ-2526) StackOverflowError at at org.apache.xml.serializer.ToStream.characters(ToStream.java:1624)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANJ-2526?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=18014462#comment-18014462 ] 

Joe Kesselman commented on XALANJ-2526:
---------------------------------------

Killing the cache: One question is, how much performance would that cost us?

What's confusing me at first glance is that this is being reported as a _stack_ overflow error. I would have expected excess caching to cause _heap_ overflow.
