A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Code compiled with server compiler generates an incorrect result.

Ran the source code with:
-server
-XX:CompileThreshold=10
-XX:CompileOnly=jvmtest/Tester
-XX:+PrintCompilation

and got:

The negative (incorrect) results seem to occur after the compiled code starts kicking in. The negative results never occur with client compiler or interpreted mode.

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: No

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Yes

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Run code without -server. Observe correct result.
Then observe code with -server and a low compile threshold and observe incorrect result after code is compiled.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
The correct result from the code is '3254907146'. The result after the code is compiled is calculated as '-1040060150'.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
