I'm using I200405060200 plus v_150_0507 from CVS. This testcase

public class U {
 static <T> T notNull(T t) { return t; }
}
public class T {
 void t() {
  String s = U.notNull("");
 }
}

raises an "method not applicable" error marker in the editor but not in the
problems view.  If I replace "" with null, I get an internal compiler error.

Internal compiler error
java.lang.NullPointerException

If I put both methods into one class, I can't even save the code and get a "save
problem: Save could not be completed" error.  From the log:
