The following application creates a frame that contains a menu whose
item is a null string.

An attempt to show the frame causes a memory reference error on
Windows NT:

  The instruction at "0x77a055e6" referenced memory at "0x00000000".
  The memory could not be "read".



        import java.awt.*;

        public class MenuTest extends Frame {

                public MenuTest(String title)
                {
                        super(title);

                        setSize(300, 300);

                        MenuBar mb = new MenuBar();
                        Menu m = new Menu("File", false);

                        String s = null;
System.out.println("Adding null string to menu.. ");
                        m.add(s);

MenuItem mi = m.getItem(0);
System.out.println("Item 0 is " + mi);

System.out.println("Adding menu to menubar.. ");
                        mb.add(m);

System.out.println("Setting menubar.. ");
                        setMenuBar(mb);
                }

                public static void main(String args[])
                {
                        Frame f = new MenuTest("menu test");

System.out.println("Showing frame.. ");
f.setVisible(true);
                }
        }
