[Bug classpath/22771] java.text.AttributedString will throw a NPE at line 276

[gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org]

the field attribs is not initialized in the constructor for AttributedString
before it is dereferenced on line 276. As a result, a NPE will always be thrown
on line 276 if that line is executed.

I believe the quick fix is to initialize attribs to be an empty array. In other
works, 
  attribs = new AttributeRange[0];

A better solution would be to build up the collection of attributes as a list
and then convert it to an array.

I'm checking in the fix for this.
