A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The program copied below should compile, but causes an infinite recursion instead.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile the source code given below.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
It should compile withouth problem.
ACTUAL -
It produces a stack overflow shown below

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
class StackOverflow implements AInterface<AClass<?>> {
	@Override
	public void doA(final AInterface<AClass<?>> vm) {
		final StackOverflow cast = (StackOverflow) vm;
	}
}

class AClass<T extends Comparable<T>> {}

interface AInterface<V> {
	void doA(AInterface<V> vm);
}
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
It is working in Java7.

If possible, you can change the code to use a specific generic type, that way it will also compile with Java6:

class StackOverflow<S extends Comparable<S>> implements AInterface<AClass<S>> {
	@Override
	public void doA(final AInterface<AClass<S>> vm) {
		final StackOverflow cast = (StackOverflow) vm;
	}
}

class AClass<T extends Comparable<T>> {}

interface AInterface<V> {
	void doA(AInterface<V> vm);
}
