I'm not sure this is really worth the effort, since it's such a publicized problem I expect a fix for the JVM will be released soon. One of the perks of running on top of the JVM is we can defer fixes like this to the JVM hackers This blog post says it can be reproduced with a number of different numbers: http://www.exploringbinary.com/java-hangs-when-converting-2-2250738585072012e-308/ Sounds like it would be hard to detect them all as a workaround. The core integer parsing routine really needs a fix applied there
