The Java on my linux machine is definitely from Oracle,
because the (dated)system's Java was 1.6, and I downloaded
and installed Java 1.7 manually from Oracle and call javac
by its full path name.

Does your "No" apply specifically to Oracle's 1.7 *32bit*
command-line tool "javac"? ... and *not* to eclipse, ant,
or any other suite that likely has its own separate and
likely larger default stack size?

The Stack-overflows (before I added -J-Xss1m) may not make
sense, but they were a fact. Another fact is, that not all
facts necessarily make sense, though...
