[foreign] RFR 8211277: Exception when dereferencing null pointer should be more specific

[Sundararajan Athijegannathan]

Looks good.

PS. While I'm fine with the Windows portability EXPORT macro in C code, 
none of the other existing tests use this. Perhaps we need similar such 
portability macro elsewhere? Not suggesting for current changeset though.
