a number of places where i found this to be a cereal problem where you
won't suspect them:
Credit Card Validators (checks first if given string is a number)
(Pentaho Data Integration)
Version Numbers (in xml headers) (Xstream)
and to my surprise
HTTP headers (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616- sec3.html#sec3.9) (Spring Framework et al)

When you say "on the Mac", do you mean on the Apple JVM?
I tried replicating this in a native Objective-C app but was not able to make it crash. So either I'm exercising the wrong code, or it's a software-only bug in the JDK libraries.
Well it would have to be using Double.parseDouble. I would imagine
most of those would be using parseInteger or parseLong (at least as
far as I know, floating point values are not valid credit card
numbers).

Don't see a problem in Netbeans so far ... not sure if I have that
turned out. Either way at worst it's going to hang a thread, not sure
if that will stop all builds ...

I did this on OS X and it looks like the 2.2250738585072012e-308 thing
causes spinning. Dodgy parser? http://twitpic.com/3vwtcq
Rob: It shouldn't show up in Objective-C. Its code in the core of the
JDK. Either in the Java libraries, native code, JIT code.. somewhere..
But it's probably common code for a lot of JDKs.

It also will blow up other languages for which the compiler is written in Java. I tested it as a constant in Flex and it sent Eclipse to its grave, because you can't cancel the compile, and can't save or quit while it's waiting for the compile to finish.
