This is similar to bug # 4117451.

I have 2 classes. Class A contains a public method (P) that
inherits from a protected method (X) in class B. I generate
javadoc using:
'javadoc -public -version -sourcepath.....'.

The javadoc for class B (correctly) does not include the
protected method X.
The javadoc for class A documents the public method P as:
 "Overrides:
      method X in class B"
and provides a link to class B which (as stated above) does NOT
include documentation for method X.

This is very confusing for users.
I suspect that protected methods should not be referred to at all
if the '-public' option is used.
