In the following code:
----
import java.util.Set;
public class JBug<T> {
    abstract class Inner1 implements Set<T> { }
    static class Inner2<U> {
        class Inner3 { U z; }

        abstract class Inner4 implements Set<U> { }
    }
}
----
the current 2.4a1 compiler gives the following error:
----
JBug.java:7: non-static class U cannot be referenced from a static context
        abstract class Inner4 implements Set<U> { }
                                             ^
1 error
----

This is incorrect, I think. We're no longer in a static context, although
I suspect that the compiler is getting confused because the parent context
is static.
