Various ute "defmeth" tests fail when a NullPointerException is thrown instead of an AbstractMethodError.
This occurs 24 times across a variety of cases in two different tests. These failures can be seen in the attached file which includes the failing cases from a logfile.
The cause of this appears to be failure to translate null pointer exceptions into abstract method errors occurring in code compiled by methodHandles_x86.cpp. It appears that NPE->AME is the convention; see vtableStubs_x86.cpp, for example (search for ame_addr) and templateTable_x86_32.cpp (search for no_such_method).
A fix can be applied to jump_from_method_handle in methodHandles_x86.cpp.
