JNI Stack Problem

[DAnny K]

Hi, I have a problem with the JNI in that I am trying to run some C
code using a Java GUI. The problem is is that I create some v large
arrays in my c code that the JVM apparenty cant deal with. - arrays of
say 50,000 elements. I have tried to increase the stack size using the
-Xss argument, but it still gives me this error

An unrecoverable stack overflow has occurred.
#
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:

The solution is simple: don't create objects of that size on the
stack. Instead, use malloc() or one of its friends to dynamically
allocate the array. Don't forget to free() it afterwards.

The best solution is not using of Stack and Local Heap memory in jni. As
these are used by JVM. In MS Windows (if it possible) I use Global Heap or
Virtual Memory in my JNI code.
