Well my thinking was this: the fact that the jconsole tab was blank shows that
the array may being passed. The previous code verified that all three arrays
had the same length - so it would have failed if the array had a length
different than the other two. So I would prefer if we kept on throwing in that
case. In other words, we now allow and prefer `null` - but if non-null - we
will allow a null-filled array passed by an older client but we should not
accept something that would have been invalid then.
