Build ID: I20080609-1311

Steps To Reproduce:
1. compile class (see "more information") for java 1.6
2. check (dump) .class-file DM2.class
3. signature is "[L[Ljava/lang/String;;" - results in error at least when loaded by another classloader: java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal class name "[L[Ljava/lang/String;;" in class file a/lng/pkg/name/DM2

4. compile class (see "more information") for java 1.4
5. check (dump) .class-file DM2.class
6. signature is ok - no problems with other classloaders
