Compilation and subsequent execution of the test:

interface SomeInterface {}

class SomeClass implements SomeInterface
{
int i;
}


public class test
{
public static void main(String argv[])
{
SomeInterface u [][];
SomeClass x [][];

u = new SomeClass [3][];
x = (SomeClass [][]) u;
if (! (x instanceof SomeInterface [][]))
System.out.println("fail");
System.out.println("pass");
}
}

results in JVM crash due to segmentation violation instead of expected:

novo40% javac test.java
novo40% java test
pass
