A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When a method or constructor has a varargs argument, the 'transient' modifier is set. This bug appears in JDK 1.5.0_10 and JDK 1.6.0

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Copy the submitted source code to a file named 'showbug.java'. Compile and run.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
No output.
ACTUAL -
testclass ctor has illegal transient modifier.
hello has illegal transient modifier.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
