Subject: [Fwd: abc exception]

Hi Oege,

One of the OOD students program's works with ajc but causes an internal
compiler error in abc v1.0.

Here's his description and the source code is attached.

I've not tried to reproduce it yet and I can't remember which module the
exception started in, but I do recall that it was a null pointer
exception.
