Kevin,
Very tricky bug, but I found it!
In the Reversomatic constructor, you have this:
public Reversomatic (String aWord)
{
String word = aWord;
}
When you declare "String word" above, Java thinks you want to assign the
value of aWord to a new, local variable called "word", instead of the
class's instance variable. Of course, this local variable is thrown
away when the constructor ends, so the instance variable "word" contains
a null pointer. Change that statement to
word = aWord;
and that should fix your problem.

Subject: [fsck] Re: Try Out Kubuntu 9.04 NOW!
Ubuntu 9.04rc is fairly slick too for those gnome fans out there. Be
careful with ext4 (even on Kubuntu), there are still a few issues I've
been seeing on launchpad dealing with pre-allocation that are causing
data loss, particularly in configuration files. There are reasons it is
not enabled by default. However, even without ext4 i saw about a 10
second improvement in boot times on my old clunker laptop. The new gnome
(especially with new theme/notification skin) makes this version look
particularly slick compared to 8.10.

Good news for everyone:
The Kubuntu 9.04 - Jaunty Jackalope RC is out now. If nothing special
happens, this RC will be identical to the official version which will be
released in one week.
What's new in Kubuntu 9.04:
* KDE 4.2.2 (The first KDE version that doesn't suck!)
* Qt 4.5: First LGPL Qt!
* Fast booting!
* ext4: You don't have to wait 2 minutes each time it checks your disks.
* DigiKam for your picture editing and management needs
* AmaroK 2!
It's a pity we don't have kernel modesetting like Fedora 11, which I
absolutely felt in love with, but you can compile and install it
yourself (however I don't think it will be easy.) The deal about kernel
modesetting is that you don't have to run X as a superuser anymore.
Cosmetically switching between VT is super fast and the screen no longer
flicks while starting up or shutting down.
I have a mirror of the Kubuntu 9.04 alternative image at
http://htruong.truman.edu/iso/ (on-campus only)
As I'm writing this message, the download is not finished yet but will
complete very soon. Make sure you don't see a .rc file in my iso
directory - if you see one that means it's not completed yet.
