My understanding of the issue is that there is a possible `pendingException` on 
line 1287. This is possible by `AWT_NOFLUSH_UNLOCK_IMPL()` in `awt.h` as you 
previously pointed me to. Seems like setting bounds by the code that was 
previously on lines 1289-1290 was unsafe due to the `AWT_UNLOCK` possibly 
throwing an exception right before it.

I don't think bounds can be null in this area because line 1279 checks for 
this. But if the `AWT_UNLOCK` here is throwing a `pendingException`, I think 
returning null is what should be done here since the same is done on line 1297, 
except this won't be reached in this case until after bounds is unsafely set.

I can just `return NULL` instead near line 1265 as you suggested, but from what 
I read, the exception would be at line 1287 (which is after).
