CFEclipse StackOverflowError (Editor could not be initialized)

Even since I moved from Windows to Linux, I have been experiencing an exception trying to edit certain CFMs in CFEclipse.

A few google searches later, and it seemed that I was the only one with this problem. I tried re-installing the plugin, etc, to no avail.

It turns out that that Java stack size was simply too small for some of the regular expressions CFEclipse was putting our admittedly massive CFMs through. The fix was to bump the stack size (via command-line args) up from the default 128k on 32-bit Linux.
