The Java white paper claims that the verifier insures that code wont blow
the stack, and thus Java does no run-time checking of the stack.
What about recursive algorithyms (such as a recursive flood-fill for
instance.) How can Java POSSIBLY know apriori how deep on the stack it
will go???
This doesnt make alot of sense to me.
