Except if the class statics haven't been initialized yet? We're talking
threads here. Aside from that: Are you POSITIVE that the null pointer is
the static final field, and not something it's using?

Java isn't magic. You still have to write thread-aware code -- and you
need to know how Java works with static initializers. I don't, which is
why I recommended you ask that question in a Java forum, or one of the
Android developer forums.

I just have to disagree with your premise: There simply isn't likely to
be a difference in how Java behaves between platforms EXCEPT FOR TIMING
ISSUES when you have a faster CPU. That's where threads can get you in
trouble.
