Title:
  OpenJDK compiler 6b20pre on Maverick doesn't recognize Generics
  Correctly

Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  OpenJDK compiler can't unify custom type defined in signature by
  generics.

  Example:

  import java.util.List;
  public class GenericBug {
      public <X extends String, Y extends List<X>, Z extends List<X>> Z add(X element, Y list){
          list.add(element);
          return list;
      }
  }

  This code compile correctly on Sun JDK but OpenJDK compiler displays error:
  "incompatible types
  required: Z
  found:    Y"
  But btw Z and Y is the same type: List<X>
