JVMs has a strange limitation for the size of methods. I don't know if there is a plan to solve that on the JVM side.
It is quite hard to solve that on the compiler side. When I bumped inot this (once for an ICFP contest), I rewrote a macro so that it emitted smaller methods called from a big method.
