>Description:
An inner class should have the same access as its enclosing
class with regard to accessing methods and fields in other
top level classes. 

Protected methods in a superclass of the enclosing class
should be accessible from the inner class, even if the
superclass is in a foreign package. But gcj gets the 
following error:

$ gcj AnonTest.java pkg1/Base.java -o at --main=AnonTest
AnonTest.java: In class `AnonTest$Inner':
AnonTest.java: In method `test()':
AnonTest.java:9: Can't access protected method `void pkg1.Base.a()' from `AnonTest$Inner'.
      a();
      ^
1 error
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to compile this test case:

// AnonTest.java
import pkg1.*;

public class AnonTest extends Base
{
  class Inner
  {
    void test()
    {
      a();
    }
  }
}

// pkg1/Base.java
package pkg1;

public class Base
{
  protected void a() {}
}
