Compiling the following two files (in package member_conflict) with

ajc -Xlint -incremental -sourceroots member_conflict

yeilds a well-formed error.

Files:
----
public class SomeClass {

    public String toString() {
        return "from SomeClass";
    }
}

public aspect Conflicter {

    public String SomeClass.toString() {
        return "from Conflicter";
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
       int i = 0;
    }
}

However, modifying Conflicter so that it reads:

public aspect Conflicter {

//    public String SomeClass.toString() {
//        return "from Conflicter";
//    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
       int i = 0;
    }
}

saving the file and invoking the incremental compilation yeilds a
NullPointerException (full output below).
