Description

When I invoke the super constructor of a parent class, I cannot pass "this":

B.groovy:

class B {
B {}
}

C.groovy:

class C extends B {
C()

{ super(this) }

static void main(args)

{ cc = new C() }

}

I get this failure:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError: (class: C, method: <init> signature: ()V) Expecting to find object/array on stack

If I change the "this" to something else, it works.
