A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I tried something silly with generics and arrays that gave me a compiler internal error.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Just simply compile the following class with no options

javac name\slacroix\C3.java

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
get a compilation error about some type mismatch
ACTUAL -
name\slacroix\C3.java:9: internal error; cannot instantiate <T>binarySearch(T[],T,java.util.Comparator<? super T>) at java.ut
il.Arrays to (long[][],int,java.util.Comparator<long[]>)
            int indexFound = Arrays.binarySearch(arrayMap, 1, comparator);
                                                ^
1 error

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
