Description

The following file contains a typo. It builds well with groovyc, but fails to run with groovy and raises an exception:

Caught: java.lang.VerifyError: (class: testCompile, method: aMethod signature: ()Ljava/lang/Object Register 4 contains wrong type

    def aMethod() {
        try {
            int i = 0
        }
        catch(AssertionError e) {
                println e
        }
        catch(Throwable t) {
                println e // THIS IS A TYPO, OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE
        }
    }
