JDK 1.2.2 java.lang.System.identityHashCode(null) != 0, however the javadoc
explicitly states:
"The hashcode for the null reference is zero."

A test example which demonstrates this problem.
===== test47.java ========
public class test47 {

   public static void main (String argv[]) {
       System.out.println(System.identityHashCode(null));
       return;
  }
}

========= Sample run (JDK1.2.2) ==========
#>java test47
