A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Compiling the attached code does not produce an error. However, execution fails with a VerifyError.


THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -Xint FLAG: Yes

THE PROBLEM WAS REPRODUCIBLE WITH -server FLAG: Yes

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
- Compile the attached class.
- Run "java Test".

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
Expected:

The second call in the runTest() method should execute without any problems and behave the same way as the first.

Actual:

The second call compiles fine but corrupts the class file so it can not be executed.
ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError: Bad type on operand stack
Exception Details:
  Location:

  Current Frame:
    bci: @2
    flags: { }

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) { new Test().runTest(); }

    private void runTest() {
        Worker worker = new Worker();
        run(() -> worker.print(field -> new SomeClass(field)));

        runnable.run();

        SomeClass(Object field) {
            this.field = field;
        }

        void print(Function<Object, Object> i) {
            System.out.println(i.apply(null));

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Replacing "SomeClass::new" with "field -> new SomeClass(field)" resolves the issue.
