Description Martin Aeschlimann CLA 2003-07-22 12:22:30 EDT 
In 3.0M2 this was detected, but not in I20030722 anymore.

	public void foo(String s) {
		int r = ((Object) s).hashCode();
	}
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2003-07-22 12:30:11 EDT 
This is an expected consequence of fix for bug 40572.

Receiver casts are no longer signalled, since compiler will use the receiver 
type in the constant pool reference, thus in between 1.3/1.4 there would be 
subtle differences in the generated bytecode depending on the presence of the 
cast which users wouldn't likely understand.
