If interface contains static method (method has ACC_STATIC flag set,
besides ACC_ABSTRACT and ACC_PUBLIC flags), then the class file is
malformed and therefore must be rejected by VM class format checker
with exception ClassFormatError.
However, JVM (all jdk version till 1.3.0L) throws VerifyError
instead of ClassFormatError.

The section "4.6 Methods" of 2nd JVM spec says:
"All interface methods must have their ACC_ABSTRACT and ACC_PUBLIC
flags set and may not have any of the other flags in Table 4.5 set."

The following new jck1.3-RC1 test
vm/classfmt/mth/mthacc001/mthacc00103m1/mthacc00103m1.html
is failed due to this bug.
