Torsten,
   Sorry about that I guess I was in a hurry and didn't look to closely at
the example I gave.  Here is an example program that demonstrates the error:

package testrtti;

public class Main
{
  public Main()
  {
  }

  public void a(Object o)
  {
    System.out.println("object version called");
  }

  public void a(Main m)
  {
    System.out.println("Main version called");
  }

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    Main main = new Main();
    main.a(main);  // calls main version
    Object o = main;
    main.a(o);  // calls object version even though the class is really a
main class
    main.a((Main)o);  // calls main version due to typecast - which should
be implicit
  }
}

After running this you can see that the Object version is called even though
the class could be casted to Main and work.  Here is the output I get:
Main version called
object version called
Main version called
