Summary:  java.text.AttributedString will throw a NPE at line 276

Original Submission:  the field attribs is not initialized in the constructor 
for AttributedString before it is dereferenced on line 276. As a result, a NPE 
will always be thrown on line 276 if that line is executed.

I believe the quick fix is to initialize attribs to be an empty array. In other 
works, 
  attribs = new AttributeRange[0];

A better solution would be to build up the collection of attributes as a list 
and then convert it to an array.
