FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.8.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-b132)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.0-b70, mixed mode)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The class file produced by javac for the attached program makes an illegal access to uninitialized local variable 2.  The verifier understandably objects.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile and run the attached program.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
This is an experimental program to help me understand lambda expressions.  If there is an error in my program, I would expect the error to be reported by javac, rather than by the byte-code verifier.  

I do not believe there is an error in this program.  I believe the program should run and the closure should be 
ACTUAL -
The program does not run because the verifier rejects the class file.
