Ritesh Nigam commented on LUCENE-2280:
--------------------------------------

Are you sure you're using a stock version 2.3.2 of Lucene?
- Yes, I checked the manifest of the jar.

I ask because... the line numbers in SegmentMerger (specifically 566) don't 
correlate to 2.3.2. The other line numbers do match. It's odd.

But looking at the code I don't see how either of the arrays being passed to 
System.arraycopy can be null.

Can you turn on IndexWriter's infoStream and capture & post the output?
- I have turned on the infostream for IndexWriter, it will take some time to 
get the result. once I get the result I will post that.

It's also strange that this leads to index corruption; it shouldn't (the merge 
should just fail, and the index should be untouched). Can you run CheckIndex on 
the index and post what corruption it uncovers.
- Here index corruption I mean that the main index file is getting deleted and 
search is not returning expected result. Hence there is no index file exists 
after the NullPointerExcepton, I cannot run CheckIndex.

Does this happen in a Sun JRE?
- I have not yet tested the same scenario on Sun JRE till now.
