Description

When compiling this code with groovyc, hit an OutOfMemoryError
during the compilation (i.e. it never completes), should either
be invalid syntax with a graceful exit, or valid syntax

----------------
package com.javanicus.groovytest

class NullPropertyTest extends GroovyTestCase {
// the following declaration seems to cause the groovyc
// compiler to hit OutOfMemory, either should be more
// graceful exit or valid syntax...
property wensleydale = null

void testNullProperty()

{ assert wensleydale == null }

}
