Build ID: M20070921-1145

Steps To Reproduce:
1. create new Java project (e.g. with name 'simple')

2. create Xxx.java as follows:
--- begin ---
public class Xxx {
	static {
		new Object(){
			public boolean f(Object o) {
				if (o instanceof Yyy) {
					((Yyy<?, ?>)o).getZzz().//
				}
			}
		};
	}
}
--- end ---
(note 1: 'Yyy' and '.' will be marked as errors, it is ok)
(note 2: there is no need to have Yyy.java)

3. place Java editor cursor between '.' and '//' and press Ctrl+Space.

as a result, a 'stack overflow' messagebox comes and one can see in error log:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 0 2007-12-06 15:15:14.553
