AspectJ Compiler 1.1beta4
This program:

aspect Foo {
  void A.foo() { }
  void B.foo() { super.foo(); }
}

class A { }
class B extends A { }

class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new B();
  }
}

causes this error at runtime:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError: (class: B, method: ajc$superDispatch$B$foo signature: ()V) Illegal use of nonvirtual function call
	at Main.main(Foo.java:11)

Note that foo is never even called; the error happens at load time when the new B() expression causes class B to be loaded.  There's no error if either one of the foo methods is declared in its class directly.

This is kind of a showstopper...
