   * href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6409434">Sun bug 6409434</a> is fixed.
   * It's unclear whether nulls were to be permitted or forbidden, but presumably the eventual fix
   * will be to permit them, as it seems more likely that code would depend on that behavior than on
   * the other. Thus, we say the bug is in add(), which fails to support null.
