According to the javadoc API of the java.io.File constructors,
the following call:

new File((File) null, "name")

should return an instance of File for the file "name" in current
working directory.
However, a NullPointerException is thrown instead. After checking
with the source code,it is found that the case of null as the
first parameter is not handled at all.
