Javac gets confused with type-inference and crashes with StackOverflowError

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Hi Victor,
thanks for the report; I did some testing and it seems to be a duplicate 
(although with slightly different stack trace) of this:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8130304

There was an issue in the Tarjan implementation for computing 
topological sort of inference variables; when the bug occurred, 
inference would fail in unexpected ways; in your example it seems like 
the output of the topological sorted inference graph still contained 
loops (which should never occur) - hence the SSO.

Unfortunately the Tarjan classes changed a bit during 9, the backport 
might be hard. We will take a look to see if the fix can be backported 
safely.

Thanks
Maurizio
