Description Ilja Preuss CLA 2008-10-10 06:32:11 EDT 
Build ID: M20080911-1700

Steps To Reproduce:
I have a Java class with a constructor calling another constructor via this(parameters...). The called constructor now has an additional argument. When I add that same argument to the end of the parameter list of this constructor and hit ctrl-s, the following Exception occurs (reproducibly, for the current state of the workbench).

Ilja - could pls you provide the testcase as an attachment ?
Comment 2 Ilja Preuss CLA 2008-10-10 10:45:05 EDT 
No, sorry, couldn't reproduce in a reasonably sized testcase. The class this happened with depended on the existence of a 1.5GB workspace. After I changed a *different* class, it also didn't happen again. It might be that I also used features like quick assist or similar in a slightly different way.

Sorry, I fear I can't be of much more help. As the problem somehow went away now, I reduced the severity of this bug entry.
