The following piece of code is compiled by 3.2M5's compiler without problems, but javac produces an error.
####
class Test<T> {

  static void a(Class<? extends Test<?>> c) {}

  static void b(Test<?> t) {
    Test.a(t.getClass());
  }
}
####
Sun's javac produces the following error when compile the listed piece of code
####
Test.java:6: a(java.lang.Class<Test<?>>) in Test cannot be applied to (java.lang.Class<capture of ? extends Test>)
                Test.a(t.getClass());
                    ^
1 error
####
When the 'extends' is removed, 3.2M5's compiler produces the correct error
####
The method a(Class<Test<?>>) in the type Test is not applicable for the arguments (Class<capture-of ? extends Test>)
