Re: JTidy and java.lang.NullPointerException

Parsing this file gives a NullPointerException in JTidy:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<input type-"hidden" name="language" value="IT">
</body>
</html>

The problem seems to be that at line 2651 of Lexer.java
     Report.attrError(this, this.token, value, Report.BAD_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE);

value is null.

Using BBEdit Tidy (based on the C version of Tidy) gives a different error:
line 6 column 1 - Warning: <input> attribute "type-"hidden"" lacks value

I don't know why the behavior is different or where the error is 
being caught in the C version. Any suggestions for a fix?
