JDK-5003235 - Accessibility of private inner class
Description
###@###.### reports:

$ cat -n Super.java ; cat -n Sub.java
     1  class Super {
     2      Inner i;
     3      private class Inner {
     4          void bar() {}
     5      }
     6  }
     1  class Sub extends Super {
     2      void foo() { i.bar(); }
     3  }
$ javac Super.java Sub.java

No error reported, which seems to violate JLS 6.6.1 (i.bar() should not be accessible).
