Here is another compiler crash... to my surpise it doesn't seem to have been entered already, although a similar report ( 1232045 crash when cannot find class ) has been fixed. The backtrace is the same as for 1232045, but this one still happens, where I've verified 1232045 does not. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that there is no main() here?

The code is of course perposterous.

// test1.java: crash the compiler after Class not found in void ...
class xxx.test1 {
    static void test (String xxx) {
        System.out.println(xxx);
    }
}

class test2 {
    static void testx () {
        System.out.println("This is test2. How do I get test1?");
test1 varA;
varA = new test1();
varA.test("Hello World!!!");
    }
}

The above file results in:
hagen@mile[1369]: javac test1.java
