A test based on 4122297 has been added to the JCK. The test should
compile successfully, however it fails with the new compiler
(jdk1.3d). Since this problem was previously fixed in jdk1.2, the new
behaviour represents a regression.

lang/NAME/name007/name00705/name00705.html

The following is a simplification of that test:

FILE: PvtMbrsNotInherit1.java

public class PvtMbrsNotInherit extends OtherClass {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
java.lang.Long.toString(0);
    }
}

class OtherClass {
     private int java;
}

OUTPUT:

$ java -fullversion
java full version "JDK-1.3-D"
$ javac PvtMbrsNotInherit1.java
PvtMbrsNotInherit1.java:3: variable java has private access in class OtherClass
        java.lang.Long.toString(0);
        ^
PvtMbrsNotInherit1.java:3: int cannot be dereferenced
        java.lang.Long.toString(0);
            ^
2 errors
