List of annotations of the class 'Documented', returned by 'getDeclaredAnnotations'
method, may be wrong in some cases.

To reproduce, compile the following program:
----------------------------------------------------------------
import java.lang.annotation.*;

public class V {
    public static void main (String[] args) throws Throwable {
        for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++)
            probe(args[i]);
    }
    
    static void probe (String fqn) throws Throwable {
        System.out.println("CLASS " + fqn);
        Class c = Class.forName(fqn, false, null);
        Annotation[] alist = c.getDeclaredAnnotations();
        if (alist != null)
            for (int i = 0; i < alist.length; i++) {
                Class a = alist[i].annotationType();
                System.out.println(" Annotation " + a.getName());
            }
    }
}
----------------------------------------------------------------

Please note the difference in the annotations lists presented on
the class 'Documented' when this sample program is run in a two
slightly different ways:

----------------------------------------------------------------
% java -cp classes V java.lang.annotation.Documented
CLASS java.lang.annotation.Documented
  Annotation java.lang.annotation.Documented
  Annotation java.lang.annotation.Retention
  Annotation java.lang.annotation.Target
  
% java -cp classes V java.lang.Deprecated java.lang.annotation.Documented
CLASS java.lang.Deprecated
  Annotation java.lang.annotation.Documented
  Annotation java.lang.annotation.Retention
CLASS java.lang.annotation.Documented
  Annotation java.lang.annotation.Retention
  Annotation java.lang.annotation.Target
----------------------------------------------------------------

In the second run, the list of annotations is missing
one item - the 'Documented' annotation itself.

This bug is reproduced on the build b49.
