Compiler Tree API TreePath class generates NullPointerException from Iterator

FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_14"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The Iterator in the com.sun.source.util.TreePath class never initializes the "private TreePath curr;" variable. Every time you try to use the iterator it throws a NullPointerException.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
create a com.sun.source.util.TreePathScanner<Object, Trees> object and implement any of the visitXYZ methods.
call the getCurrentPath() method and iterate through the results.
You will get a NullPointerException every time.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Not to get a NullPointerException
ACTUAL -
NullPointerException

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
NullPointerException

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
