-------------------------------------------

Confirmed, both for the testcase and the JHotDraw sample app.

Thanks again Chiba!

> In the instrumentation of JHotDraw, I encountered an NPE in javassist.compiler.MemberResolver#lookupMethod(...).
> When replacing a method call with a trivial block, a null pointer exception occurs in MemberResolver if that method calls clone() on a member array. The method that is being looked up is the clone method.
> The simplest testcase to reproduce this bug consists of two classes : Client (to be instrumented) and Main (does the instrumentation). 
> It produces the following stack trace :
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: caught an exception while obtaining a class file for test_clone_member_array.Client
