java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.createGraphics(BufferedImage) throws a VM
exception when passed a Null parameter in JDK Merlin.
The error was verified for build 1.4.0beta-F and build 1.4.0beta-b19.
When run on windowsNT with the HotSpot VM in both mixed and integrated modes
a HotSpot VM ExceptionAccessViolation was thrown while in classic VM Dr
Watson error was thrown. However in both cases the system did not hang.
The output was as follows...
