ObjectIdentifier swallows Null pointer excpetion in Constructor

netscape.security.util.ObjectIdentifier

line 52 public ObjectIdentifier(String oid) { if (oid == null) return;

The resulting ObjectIdentifer will then throw an exception on encode as the components array has not been initialized.

If passing in a null is appropriate, the OID should probably be the equivalent of "0.0.0.0" but I suspect that Null is an error, and we should just remove this check.
