>
> Key: NET-185
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-185
> Project: Commons Net
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: NNTP
> Environment: Fortify
> Reporter: Henri Yandell
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> In Threader.gatherSubjects, it appears to be possible for tail.next =
> c.child; to be null [line 356]:
> 349 if (old.threadable == null && c.threadable == null) {
> 350 // both dummies - merge them
> 351 ThreadContainer tail;
> 352 for (tail = old.child;
> 353 tail != null && tail.next != null;
> 354 tail = tail.next);
> 355
> 356 tail.next = c.child;
> It also seems kind of pointless, given that the subsequent line immediately
> resets tail to c.child. Perhaps the ; is not intended there?
