Nashorn bug in Java 8 u20? For trivial TypeScript code

[Hannes Wallnoefer]

Hi Kaj Magnus,

I can reproduce the problem with 8u20, however it seems to be fixed in 
JDK 9 and JDK8u40. You can download a preview release of 8u40 here:

https://jdk8.java.net/download.html

Please let us know if still run into problems using 8u40.
