It looks like new javac (jdk1.3-H) assumes that private fields are inherited by a subclass
and as result it fails to pass the following JCK-122 tests:

lang/ICLS/icls072/icls07204/icls07204.html
lang/CLSS/clss063/clss06302/clss06302.html
lang/NAME/name007/name00705/name00705.html

Note that these tests are based on examples from bug reports: 4097026, 4096353, 4122297.
Note also that oldjavac and javac-1.2 passes the tests successfully.

See sources and compiler outputs below.
