The following code appears to be legal but does not compile:

    public class AOV {

protected <T extends Object & Comparable<? super T>> void
addObjectValue(String elementName,
Class<T> classType,
T defaultValue,
Comparable<? super T> minValue,
Comparable<? super T> maxValue,
boolean minInclusive,
boolean maxInclusive)
{ }

static class Sub extends AOV {

protected <T extends Object & Comparable<? super T>> void
addObjectValue(String elementName,
Class<T> classType,
T defaultValue,
Comparable<? super T> minValue,
Comparable<? super T> maxValue,
boolean minInclusive,
boolean maxInclusive)
{ }

}

    }

It doesn't compile on b32, b47, or b48 either.
