[chuck-users] NullPointerException

[Ge Wang]

Dear all,

Sorry for the delay (currently in Beijing) - just got a chance to  
check this and was able to reproduce the exception.  It indeed looks  
like a ChucK bug - will definitely look into this for the next release.

By the way, there will be a big development round this summer  
(concurrent with some thesis fabrication) - we have a lot of new  
stuff on the move!  Stay tuned.

Best,
Ge!
