Found the email: <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/classpath/2002-02/msg00112.html>.
>From that email:
It makes a difference in this example:
in A.java:
class A
{
  static void m() { System.out.print("a"); }
}

in B.java:
class B extends A {}

in C.java:
class C
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    B.m();
  }
}

Now, recompile B.java:
class B extends A
{
  static void m() { System.out.print("b"); }
}

The result of executing the (unchanged) C.class should now be "b", not
"a".
