Compiling this code:

    @interface A {
Class value() default void.class;
    }

leads to:

    An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.5.0-beta2).
    Please file a bug...

ClassSymbol.erasure(Types) makes the assumption that type.outer() isn't
null. It is null in this case. (Who'd have thought we'd be erasing void?)
