java version "1.3.0rc1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0rc1-T)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.orc1-S, mixed mode)

The following source code compiles under jdk 1.1.8, 1.2.2, and 1.3beta but not
under jdk1.3rc1:

//----------

public class Test
  implements Test.Inner
{
  public static interface Inner
  {
  }
}

//----------

The following compiler error is reported:

Test.java:4: cyclic inheritance involving Test
  public static interface Inner
                ^
1 error

//----------

The source code is legal Java. The error is spurious.

I submitted this bug report yesterday but made an error in the source code which
prevented compilation using any version. This is a corrected submission.
