JDK8 b121 Win32: javac crash due to Code::arraycode AssertionError: arraycode OBJECT

[Samuel Dennis Borlongan]

Greetings to all (and a blessed new year as well)!

The following code crashes javac in JDK8 b121 Win32 (re:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/lambda-dev/2013-May/009874.html):

public interface Null {
  @SafeVarargs
  public static <INPUT, OUTPUT> OUTPUT functional(INPUT... input) {
    return null;
  }

  // Uncomment to successfully compile in JDK8 b121 Win32
  // public static <INPUT, OUTPUT> OUTPUT functional(INPUT input) {
    // return null;
  // }

  public static <OBJECT> void main(String... arguments) {
    java.util.function.Supplier<java.util.function.Consumer<OBJECT>>
functional =
      () -> Null::functional
    ;
  }
}
