Another BUG in Java VM for Windows 2000!?

Question

// Having one class, bug:
public class bug{
     static int i = 0;
     public static void main(String[] args){
          test();
     public static void test(){
          System.out.println("Nr: " + ++i);
          test();
          return;
Here we have a recursive call in method test.
On Windows 2000 this program runs about 4-5000 calls to test - end then aborts with no error message!
It seems to the program ends normaly.
On Unix the same program runs many thousands calls - end then crash because of stack overflow (gives stack overflow message).

On Windows 2000 this program runs about 4-5000 calls to
test - end then aborts with no error message!
It seems to the program ends normaly.It would seem to end normally for me.
From a different thread.
I've just startet with java (from C and C++) and
stumbled over serious errors right away - so I'm not
impressed so far...Hmmmmm...perhaps a different perspective? If I had just started with the language I would presume that perhaps my inexperience with the language might cause me to misunderstand obvious results.
Of course being more experienced I would code your example as follows. And that would tell me what the problem was.
  public class NoBug
    static int i = 0;
    public static void main(String[] args)
      try
        test();
      catch(Throwable e)
         System.out.println("Throwable: " + e);
    public static void test()
      System.out.println("Nr: " + ++i);
      test();
      return;
