build 18.0-b04-fastdebug regression?

[Howard Lovatt]

Thanks for the help.

The suggested solution doesn't work, I get a different error:

wizziewol-ln:Invoke Dynamic Multiple Dispatch lov080$ $b/java -ea

However the patch is for build 19 and I am using build 18. Anyway not
a big problem for me, I will go back to build 8 which works.
