BETA_JAVA7

While reviewing the code changes done for bug 340022, I noticed that,
the following program doesn't compile with 1.7 mode anymore. On 1.5
it compiles and runs fine. Javac5 and 7 are ok.

public class X {
	public static void main(String [] args) {
		doSomething(false);
	}


	public static void doSomething (boolean bool) {
		try {
			if (bool)
				throw new GrandSonOfFoo();
			else 
				throw new GrandDaughterOfFoo();
		} catch(Foo e) {
			try { 
					throw e; 
			} catch (SonOfFoo e1) {
			 	e1.printStackTrace();
			} catch (DaughterOfFoo e1) {
				System.out.println("caught a daughter of foo");
			} catch (Foo f) {}
		}
	}
	
}
class Foo extends Exception {}
class SonOfFoo extends Foo {}
class GrandSonOfFoo extends SonOfFoo {}
class DaughterOfFoo extends Foo {}
class GrandDaughterOfFoo extends DaughterOfFoo {}
