 Description   

This issue is probably related to QFJ-379: http://www.quickfixj.org/jira/browse/QFJ-379

We noticed that a stack overflow can occur when QuickFIX is processing a very large number of queued messages.

From the event log file (edited to make the situation clearer):

MsgSeqNum too high, expecting 1430 but received 4937
MsgSeqNum too high, expecting 1430 but received 4938
Received SequenceReset FROM: 1430 TO: 1939

[...]

Processing queued message: 4030, pending: [1432, 1433, 1434, ..., 1939, 4031, 4032, ..., 4937, 4938]

Is anyone able to offer any suggestions? I think the next/nextQueued functions may be excessively recursive, which will cause a stack overflow error if the queue of messages to be processed is extremely large.

I also tried with a thread stack size of 128K, 256K, 512K (-Xss VM option) but see the same problem.
