Exception in jacl-shell when running 'yes'

Anonymous — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 12:27:19 -0000

'yes' is a unix command that provides a continuous stream of 'y'.
On running this command inside the Shell supplied by jacl, the Shell exited with:
%yes
Exception in thread "Thread-5" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space.

The behavior of native tcl shell is to continue printing 'y' in the terminal.
$tclsh
% yes
y
y
y
y
y

The behavior in jacl should be identical. If it is not, at least the shell should not exit with a java OOM exception.
