Description Olivier Thomann CLA 2011-01-12 10:26:36 EST 
The following code compiles fine in 1.7:

class MyClass1<E, D extends E> {}
class MyClass2<E extends D, D> {}

but reports an error in 1.6.

This is fine according to bug 209149.

Now the problem is that the fix for this bug is causing a StackoverFlow error with this code:

class X<E extends E> {}

It should report a cycle.
