FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
1.8.0_111

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Rarely, while launching my applications, the process fails
due to a NullPointerException down in the bowels of AWT


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
This is not readily reproducible, occurs "rarely" while building the UI
for my application, probably as a result of incidental concurrency between
my application and the window system machinery.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Null pointer expceptions are not "in the manua' as an expected outcome.

ACTUAL -
NullPointerException in the guts of AWT
