Pavel, thanks SUN passes both tests (with -Xcomp too), BEA(1.5) crashes as expected.Our VM throws ClassCircularityError with both compilers and passes with interpreter. IMO we must add lazy resolution to both compilers in future. The reason: to be able to run everything SUN runs. The question is when? My answer: H1 2007.
