> This PR addresses a JCK test failure related to `DecimalFormatSymbols` de-serialization. While the current public API of DFS disallows a null locale, it was possible to set in the past. Thus, the `loadNumberData(locale)` call currently throws NPE when locale is null in the stream. The call should be guarded with a null check, such that if locale is null, then `lenientMinusSigns` defaults to `minusSignText`.
