FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_01-b06, mixed mode)

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I am having a simple generic class wrapping a generic vector, see below.
The compiler crashes with an 'assertion failed' when writing code. If I replace the foreach loop with a semantically equivalent while loop and an iterator, it works fine.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
export J2SE14=c:/Programme/java/j2sdk1.4.2_01
export JSR14DISTR=c:/Programme/java/adding_generics-2_2-ea
$JSR14DISTR/scripts/javac Test.java

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
compiled class file
ACTUAL -
compiler assertion fails

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
import java.util.Vector;

public class Test<Base> {
  private Vector<Base> columnsByIndex = new Vector<Base>();

  public void print() {
    // this loop will crash with a compiler error
    for(Base base : columnsByIndex) {
      //...
    }

    /**
    // this loop - which does the same thing - works
    java.util.Iterator<Base> bases = columnsByIndex.iterator();
    while (bases.hasNext()) {
      Base base = bases.next();
      // ...
    }
    */

  }
}

---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
use the while loop
