: Loop?  I still don't follow?  

Loop, as in 'for (;;) continue;' -- with sprinkles.  I never get a
stack overflow, so I don't think it's recurring infinitely.

: Are you compiling all of your sources with
: one invocation of javac?

No.

: Ahh, none of our sources have any circular dependencies for obvious
: reasons. :)

I must ask, what obvious reasons?  There is no way to encapsulate
mutual recursion between objects of distinct classes without a
circular interface dependency, unless you are willing to resort to
reflection/reification -- which I am not for reasons of readability.
In particular, I find such recursion to be essential to a clean
interface structure when implementing constraint propagation systems
that iterate to fixed points.
