create a directory called "aroundTest.java"

Go to this directory and create the two files listed below. The crash is reproducable with this code in my case - consider it as dummy code. The bug might also be reproducible with different code:


/*# Test.java: ############################*/


public class Test{

        public Test(){
                val = 0;
        }

        public int getValue(){
                return val;
        }


        public void setValue(int v){
                val = v;
        }

        private int val;
}






/*# Prog.java */

public class Prog{
        public static void main(String[] args){
                System.out.println("running");
                Test t = new Test();
                t.setValue(42);
                System.out.println("exiting");
        }
}






Now compile the code with ajc:

# ajc *.java

In my case I always get a NullPointerException

A workaround is to rename the current working directory to a name which does not  have the suffix ".java".
