Note: issue is C2 specific.

It reproduced on linux,solaris, i586, amd64, sparc. I did not check windows.

Looks like the compiler fails for class which contains an array net.jini.core.lookup.ServiceID refs however this type is not in classpath. If so then such issue unlikely to be reproduced in real VM. Probably CTW tests should be improved.

To reproduce (with jdk6u18) run:
/net/vmsqe.russia/export/jdk/re/6u18/promoted/ea/b01/binaries/solaris-i586/fastdebug/bin/java -XX:-ShowMessageBoxOnError -Xverify:all -XX:+CompileTheWorld -Xbootclasspath/p:/net/vmsqe.russia/export/testbase/ctw/build/../jars/ibiblio/maven2/jini/jini-ext/2.1/jini-ext-2.1.jar
