Agreeing that the most likely culprit is some very[-very-very] deeply nested 
syntactic construction, I'd suggest that the most likely causes are: machine 
generated-code, and/or exuberant use of the "fluid" style -- you know the one:
    someObject
        .aaa()
        .aab()
        .aac()
        .aad()
    ...several pages later...
        .zzx()
        .zzy()
        .zzz()
        ;

In the absence of further info, I bet on machine-generated code.

(It also depends on the parsing technology, and how that tech is applied to the 
problem domain -- in this case parsing Java. I don't know what tech javac 
uses.)
