[Christian Thalinger]

Do you see the same failure with 8 (to rule out differences between 7u12 and 8)?

In two cases where we are combining method handles to catch exceptions from a library method, process those exceptions to fill in our own error information and then fallback to the proper error handling code, we are failing to be bind properly. The failure occurs with methods with 9 or more arguments where the last one is an array.
