Yes, there seems 2 issues: 1) why using generic; 2) the null pointer. For the second issue, it seems you've already find a solution.

Takashi is very professional and nice. I did think we need check the null pointer. But maybe it is not as your patch. Maybe it is in another place.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
