java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0, mixed mode)

The following code:

public class Blaa {
  public static void main(String argv[]) {
    { int i = 5; }
    int i = i;
    System.out.println("i: " + i);
  }
}

Should not compile (variable i is uninitialized). In fact, it not only
compiles, but unexpectedly produces the following output:

i: 5
