java version "1.4.0-beta"

I've written a trivial test program to try out the new Assertion facility in JDK
1.4, and I notice that the AssertException that is thrown in my simple test
program contains the wrong line number as the origin of the exception. Instead
of showing line 8 as the line where the exception occurred, it shows line 1.
Here's the test program:

cindercone% cat AssertTest.java
class AssertTest {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      System.out.println("Start of 1st assert test");
      assert 1==1;
      System.out.println("End of 1st assert test");

      System.out.println("Start of 2nd assert test");
      assert 1==5;
      System.out.println("End of 2nd assert test");
   }
}
% javac -source 1.4 AssertTest.java
% java -ea AssertTest
Start of 1st assert test
End of 1st assert test
Start of 2nd assert test
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AssertionError
        at AssertTest.main(AssertTest.java:1)
