STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile Test.java as shown above.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
No crash.
ACTUAL -
With the diagnostic flags passed you see a stack trace. Without them, you still see a message "printing javac parameters to [path]", indicating a crash occurred.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.TYPE_USE;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;
class Test {
  @Target(TYPE_USE)
  @interface Nullable {}
  static <T extends @Nullable Object> T identity(T t) {
    return t;
  }
  static void test() {
    Test.<@Nullable Object>nonNullIdentity(null);
    // no crash without the explicit type argument
    //Square.nonNullIdentity(null);
  }
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Remove the explicit type argument

FREQUENCY : always
