 200      * To allow Throwable objects to be made immutable and safely
 201      * reused by the JVM, such as OutOfMemoryErrors, the three fields
 202      * of Throwable that are writable in response to user actions,
 203      * cause, stackTrace, and suppressedExceptions obey the following
 204      * protocol:
 205      *
 206      * 1) The fields are initialized to a non-null sentinel value
 207      * which indicates the value has logically not been set.
 208      *
 209      * 2) Writing a null to the field indicates further writes
 210      * are forbidden
 211      * 
 212      * 3) The sentinel value may be replaced with another non-null
 213      * value.
 214      *
 215      * For example, implementations of the HotSpot JVM have
 216      * preallocated OutOfMemoryError objects to provide for better
 217      * diagnosability of that situation.  These objects are created
 218      * without calling the constructor for that class and the fields
 219      * in question are initialized to null.  To support this
 220      * capability, any new fields added to Throwable that require
 221      * being initialized to a non-null value require a coordinated JVM
 222      * change.
