Description Philipe Mulet CLA 2008-02-20 05:42:35 EST 
Build 3.4M4

FUP of bug 196200. 
Following scenario should be improved:

public class X {
	
	void foo() {
		Zork z1 = null;
		Object o = z1; // should blame z1
		Object o = bar();
		Zork[] array = null;
		int length = array.length; // should blame array
	}
	Zork bar() {
	}
}

Will address along with bug 196200 (part of same patch).
Test is: ProblemTypeAndMethodTest#test066

Actually, no action planned, since it would create just too many secondary errors. The leading error on local declaration type is enough.

Verified for 3.4M6 using I20080324-1300.
