Description

Consider the following:

class Main {
  static main(args) {
    this.meth()
  }
  static void meth(Runnable action = new Runnable() {
    @Override void run() {
      print 'works'
    }
  }) {
    action.run()
  }
}

Compiling and executing this class results in org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException: Cannot cast object 'class Main' with class 'java.lang.Class' to class 'Main'.
