Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.0-C, mixed mode)

The "javac" compiler accept the following code, but "java" throws a VerifyError:

*/
public class ArrayTest {
    public static void main(final String[] args) {
    }

    private static void neverCalled() {
        float[][] channels = null;
        channels[0] = resize(channels[0]);
    }

    private static float[] resize(final float[] array) {
        return null;
    }
}
/*

When I try to run this code (with "java Test"), I get the following message:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError: (class: Test, method:
neverCalled signature: ()V) Incompatible types for storing into array of arrays
or objects

A work around is to replace "float[][] channels=null" by "float[][]
channels=float[0][]". The problem is that in my complete class, "channels" was
lazily created only when needed.

Thanks,
