generics: javac generares "new" of wrong class

Under some circumstances the generic compiler calls "new"
on the wrong class but calls the correct constructor.
The mismatch fails verification.



frog:~/workspaces/test/Generic3 $ cat -n T.java
     1 class List<T> {}
     2 class ArrayList<T> extends List<T> {}
     3
     4 class T
     5 {
     6 public static void main(String[] ps)
     7 {
     8 List<String> list = getList();
     9 }
    10
    11 public static List<String> getList()
    12 {
    13 return new ArrayList();
    14 }
    15 }
frog:~/workspaces/test/Generic3 $ newjavac -gj T.java
Note: T.java uses unchecked operations.
Note: Recompile with -warnunchecked for details.
