[ImageJ-devel] Stack overflow error with screen size computation

[Curtis Rueden]

Hi Wayne,

[CCing imagej-devel, since this discussion may be of interest to other
developers, particularly my colleague Mark Hiner who is working on these
issues now.]

Thanks, I filed an issue so we won't forget:
  https://github.com/imagej/imagej-launcher/issues/31

Mark Hiner's main project for the summer is issues with launching and
distribution, so hopefully we'll see some progress on the robustness,
especially on OS X.

I filed an issue for that too:
  https://github.com/imagej/imagej-launcher/issues/32

Although I did not test it with the latest version of the launcher since
Johannes improved the Java version selection.

Regards,
Curtis
