I got a number of NPEs while compiling the Eclipse SDK source 3.8 M4 using JDT Core from master plus patch v0.6 from bug 358903. Ironically the NPEs occur in UnconditionalFlowInfo.markAsDefinitelyNull(...)

This is because of a problem in the patch in bug 358903. Should be fixed there. Closing this one.

Stephan, Is this patch superceded by another that doesn't exhibit this
problem ?

After putting up that question, I noticed that this is being discussed
in bug 358903. Will catch up on the discussion there.
