[A. Sundararajan]

Fix is already in nashorn repo @ 
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/nashorn/jdk8/nashorn

summary:     8024846: keep separate internal arguments variable

It'll go into jdk8 main repo and jdk8 early access build sometime soon. 
In the interim, please pull the above mercurial repo and build 
nashorn.jar from the same.

Other workaround is to rename 'arguments' to some other name - i.e., if 
you don't want to pull nashorn and build.

Hope this helps
