The javadoc says that if NumberFormat.parse(String, ParsePosition)
fails, it will return null. However, instead it is returning
new Long(0) (or something like that).

import java.text.*;

public class Bug {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
                NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getInstance();
                String text = "time 10:x";
                ParsePosition pos = new ParsePosition(8);
                Number result = format.parse(text, pos);
                System.out.println(result); // Should be null; it isn't
        }
}
