The bug concerns new class modifiers strictfp and widefp defined by
Proposal for Extension of Java Floating Point Semantics, Revision 1.

JDK 1.2beta4-J compiler does not parse correctly declaration of
a local (declared within a method) class if there is one of the new
keywords strictfp, widefp.

An example and compiler diagnostics follow:
-------------------------------------------------------
class test {

static double m() {
strictfp class Inn {
float i;
}
return 2.0;
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------
/export/ld14/java/dest/jdk1.2b4J/solaris/bin/javac test.java
test.java:3: Missing term.
static double m() {
^
test.java:3: ';' expected.
static double m() {
^
test.java:4: Invalid expression statement.
strictfp class Inn {
^
test.java:4: '}' expected.
strictfp class Inn {
^
test.java:7: Class or interface declaration expected.
return 2.0;
^
5 errors
