Java compiler (1.2fcs) fails to compile following example. When
the inner class subclasses its enclosing class directly,
all work fine. But when the inheritance done through the other class,
compiler fails.

Test example and javac diagnostics follow:
-------------------------------------------------------
novo35% cat test.java
class test {
    class A extends B {
    }
    class B {
        class C extends A {
        }
    }
}
novo35% java -version
java version "1.2fcs"
Classic VM (build JDK-1.2fcs-H, green threads, sunwjit)
novo35% javac test.java
test.java:2: No constructor matching test. B(test) found in inner class
test. B.
    class A extends B {
          ^
