Calling Class.getMethod() with a null as first argument (name of the method)
causes thread death.

eg code:

import java.lang.reflect.Method;

public class tdt {
    public static void main (String[] argv) {
        Class c = "".getClass();
        Method m;
        try {
            m = c.getMethod(null, new Class[] { new Object().getClass() });
        } catch (NoSuchMethodException nsme) {
            System.out.println("never gets here");
        }
    }
}
