Indexer fails from java.lang.StackOverflowError [message #903001]

I am working with a large code base (10K+ cc/h files -- each with a hundreds to thousands of lines). I get hundreds of stack overflows while running the indexer. Increasing my JVM stack size to 64M and my memory to 8G reduced the number of stack overflows and allowed me index more files, but hundreds of stack overflows still occur. Eventually the indexer gives up because there were too many errors.

I looked on bugzilla and I didn't see this exact issue. I didn't file a new bug because I cannot post the code I am working on (which causes the problems). However, if someone can help me get an environment up where I can debug this I am more than willing to fix it for everyone. This issue causes me a lot of heartburn.

Attached are a few example errors from my log.

I would suggest opening a bug for this issue (even if you can't provide a code that reproduces this issue). In the past I opened bugs with exceptions during indexer (I could not provide the code as well) and they were fixed. Many time exception stack provides enough information for solving the problem.

Thanks,
Yevgeny
