Please file a bug against the Java compiler via the Java bug reporting page (http://bugreport.java.com/) after checking the Bug Database (http://bugs.java.com/) for duplicates. Include your program, the following diagnostic, and the parameters passed to the Java compiler in your report. Thank you.

> The reason for the cache is insufficient error recovery - when the missing class `A` and `B` are encountered, the processing in `TypeEnter` (`TypeEnter.HierarchyPhase` for `A` and `TypeEnter.HeaderPhase` for `B`) is interrupted, and the rest of the processing is skipped to the end of the phase, leaving unprocessed tree, which ultimately leads to the exception.
