Sorry, I sent it in the open, but bug is confidential.

Summary:

  The JDI incorrectly evaluates the expression: Arrays.asList(null, "a").

The root cause is a special case in the method MethodImpl.handleVarArgs()

  that has been corrected in order to fix the problem.

  New unit test is included: jdk/test/com/sun/jdi/EvalArraysAsList.sh

Testing:
  Ran new unit test, Jtreg com/sun/jdi and nsk.jdi.testlist.
  All tests are passed.

Thanks,
