[dev sep 6] NPE when trying to execute a form. Reproducible with both internal and external execution. The code is clearly wrong, Executor cannot create a FileEntry with a null object argument. However I cannot see any recent changes to relevant code and have no idea how it ever worked before. Tried to execute forms from the sampledir (e.g. MemoryView).

Seems to work in dev #20010910. Alesi can you check the exception and resolve this issue. Thnaks in advance.
Jesse, can you please check this bug one more time? It is STRANGE.
Happened to me again in [dev sep 10]. I assume it is only I who get this exception, since it makes the IDE useless and surely people would complain. I am not sure what specifically I am doing differently from everyone else; observed in clean user directories on example forms. Anyway, look at the code: it is wrong, even if you cannot reproduce it should be fixed just in case, as it is quite illegal to be creating a FileEntry with a null object parameter.
Hopefuly fixed, because I was not able to reproduce this, anyway, the code was wrong, hard to say why this happened only to Jesse.
Sorry to be a pest, but it happened to me again in [dev sep 17] when debugging. DebuggerType was apparently not fixed in the same way. (How come nobody else was affected?? This is sort of weird.)

Fixed in main trunk, I hope.
