* Invokedynamic (like invokeinterface and invokevirtual) does not like calls with null as receiver :-) Jochen, you are one of the few people on the planet who was around JSR 292 when this was true. A very early draft of indy piggy-backed on top of the invokeinterface instruction. Eventually we made it symmetrical in all its arguments, like invokestatic, as Attila pointed out.

ups... looks like I missed that. Well, then sorry for the fuzz ;) Can you tell me since what version this has been changed? Because I thought I had this problem with 1.8 still, but I could be wrong and it was only 1.7.. Was it done along with the lambda forms rewrite?
