In some cases (I didn't find out the exact condition) internal error
occurs instead of reporting on cyclic inheritance.

Here is the example demonstrating the bug:

---- StubMenuComponentPeer.java ----------------------
package javasoft.sqe.tests.api.java.awt.Toolkit;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.peer.*;
import java.util.Vector;

public class StubMenuComponentPeer extends StubMenuComponentPeer implements MenuItemPeer {

  private Vector log;

  public StubMenuComponentPeer (Vector log) {
   this.log = log;
  }

  void dispose() {
   log.addElement("StubMenuComponentPeer dispose");
  }
}
-- The output ----------------

JCK test clss04905 has this problem. For that test, the problem goes
away when the package statement is removed.
