AspectWerkzPreProcessor throwing exception on null class name

I'm integrating AspectWerkz (0.10.RC2) with NetBeans 3.6, which is working
fine with one exception. For some reason that I have not been able to track
down, there are several attempts to load classes with a null class name.
These get passed to
org.codehaus.aspectwerkz.hook.impl.ClassPreProcessorHelper.defineClass0Pre,
which then calls
org.codehaus.aspectwerkz.transform.AspectWerkzPreProcessor.preProcess. Since
there is no check for name being null in preProcess, it throws an NPE.

There doesn't appear to be any problem with this, as the application
continues to run fine. However, defineClass0Pre catches the NPE and writes
the stack trace. This happens about 20 times, so starting up the application
is slowed considerably.

Would the development team consider a modification that avoids calling
preProcess if the name passed to defineClass0Pre is null? I have made this
hack in my local source and it seems to work ok. I'll be happy to post the
modification.
