References to inner member class fail when the outer
class' name is same as the package name.
(I.e. references to class B declared within class A in
 package A fail).

Compiler output:

bug.java:9: Class bug.bug. bug not found in type declaration.
public class bug extends Frame
             ^
1 error

----Example code------

package bug;
// package bugPkg; /* javac compiles okay if use this statement */

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;


public class bug extends Frame
{
  private int data;

  public bug()
    {
      super();

      Button b = new Button("Quit");
      b.addActionListener(new handleQuit());

      this.add(b);

      data = 0;
    }

  class handleQuit implements ActionListener
    {
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
      {
data = 1;
System.exit(0);
      }
    }

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    bug the_bug = new bug();

    the_bug.pack();
    the_bug.setVisible(true);
