Jeremy has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional commit 
since the last revision:

  4200096: rewrite solution, add LegitimateNullPointerTest
  
  Also I'm breaking out the unit tests (now there are 4 of them) into their own 
directory.
  
  The new LegitimateNullPointerTest confirms that we DO want to see 
NullPointerExceptions printed to System.err IF they come from the ImageConsumer 
itself.
  
  In this ticket most of our focus has been on the NPE's that stem from 
removing an ImageConsumer from OSIS mid-production (so the NPE was when OSIS 
tried to interact with its `theConsumer` field). This test tries to add other 
possible NPE's to our consideration.
  
  This new test passed in the master branch before this branch. I want to 
preserve this existing behavior if this proposal is accepted.
