It sometimes suggests that your program is recursing infinitely. Can you
post any code which demonstrates the problem?

part of static main(String[]) code:

BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
for(;
{
String cmd = r.readLine();
if(cmd.equals("quit"))
{
l.stop();
System.exit(0);
}
try
{
p.sendInt(java.net.InetAddress.getByName(args[3]),
78010, Integer.decode(cmd).intValue(), true);
}
catch(NumberFormatException nfe)
{
}
}


p and l are objects of self-written classes.
p.sendInt calls another function, which in turn calls another(in l),
which constructs a socket and passes it thru to p which uses it. I don't
think there's any hidden recursion in there?

oh, and it happened somewhere in the first iteration of the for loop.

I can't see anything here that's obviously causing the problem. Without
seeing what is happening in p and l I don't really know what to suggest,
sorry.

Perhaps you could put together a cut-down version of your program which
demonstrates the problem in as little code as possible, then it might be
easier to spot where it's going wrong.

Probably not the problem, but you really should be checking
for end-of-file here. Add something like this:

if( cmd == null )
break;
