The vm/instr/invokespecial/invokespecial011/invokespecial01101.html test shows
that jdk1.2b4C vm permits to have methods with the same signature for a class.
The vm spec, chapter 2.10.2 Signature, demands the following:

"The signature of a method consists of the name of the method and the number and type of formal parameters (?2.10.1) to the method. A class may not declare two methods with the same signature."

The vm spec does not define the vm behaviour if same signature methods
have been found. It would be better if such behaviour will be explained
clearly.

The methods lookup procedure of the vm implementation selects the first
method with a demanded signature. So, it may lead to different results
of the test run under the changing of the same signature methods order.
