Thanks,

Yes it is filling with nulls, according to the Eclipse debugger which shows:

child child child null null null newChild

It should also (according to the docs) throw an exception when trying to do
this.

(I have tried it in a new project in Eclipse and hope I do not have any
classpath problems).  It would be useful for other readers to attempt to
reproduce the bug in other environments.
