[Bug java/20338] New: Program compiled with gcj crashes when accessing private static method from nested class

[zbigniew at chyla dot homeip dot net]

Here's very simple example of class that compiles fine but crashes during
execution. It has something to do with "private" modifier in method of nested
class - after removing "private" the problem disappears.

$ cat Outer.java
public class Outer {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Nested.test();
    }

    static class Nested {
        private static void test() {
            System.out.println("test");
        }
    }
}
$ gcj-4.0 -o outer --main=Outer Outer.java
$ ./outer
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
