A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The problem is the same that the one explained in bug 7191282 : http://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7191282

The bug is still not fixed on Mac OS X.

Java can't execute jar files containing more 64K files if main class is specified in manifest. The only problem - the manifest can't be read.
Running "java -jar chain.jar" got message:
"Error: Invalid or corrupt jarfile chain.jar"

At the same moment using the following commant line is ok. "java -cp chain.jar <main class>"
How reproduce:
1. compile attached sources. "javac -d classes src/oracle/jsr335/linkage/arg0/inner/*.java"
2. create jar file with main class in the manifest: "jar c0fe chain.jar oracle.jsr335.linkage.arg0.inner.Main -C classes/ ."
3. try to execute. "java -jar chain.jar"

Note: when you succesfully fix manifect reading  - don't forget to increase PermGenSize (default is not enough for that test).



ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
