The following causes a runtime crash. The class Object declares a 'registerNatives' method, and this is what gets resolved for the call from 'main'. This condition was not properly accounted for in JVMS 7; the Lambda Spec considers this an IAE (per 5.4.3.4). (Still, a fix should probably be backported -- this does not depend on new 8 features.)

public class RegisterNatives {
  interface I { void registerNatives(); }
  interface J extends I {}
  static class B implements J { public void registerNatives() { System.out.println("B"); } }
  public static void main(String... args) {
    J val = new B();
    val.registerNatives();
  }
}
