NullPointerExceptions when updating images

[Kirill Prazdnikov]

Hi Adam,

I tried to reproduce it,
I commented out "new char[400M]" and after that,
the test runs up to 125000 iterations without any issues

I see another issue: the test continues to run even after window closed.

How much does it takes to get NPE with default memory settings (and 
without new 400M) ?

BTW: for performance issues i recommend you working with TYPE_INT_ARGB 
BufferedImage type.

Thanks
