Description Brian Svihovec CLA 2012-01-16 11:26:35 EST 
Given the following EGL Source:

 data Any?;
 function getData()returns(any)
    	data = null;
    	return (data);
 end

 function main()
   SysLib.writestdout(getData());
 end

A NVE is not thrown at runtime.

NOTE: An NVE is thrown if you change the type of 'data' to a 'String?' and change the return type of 'getData' to 'String' from 'any'.
