DTED read NPE with null AVList argument

To reproduce this, simply launch gov.nasa.worldwindx.examples.SurfaceImag eViewer and try to add a DTED file. Here is the exception:

Exception in thread "Thread-23" java.lang.NullPointerException
at gov.nasa.worldwind.formats.dted.DTED.rea dUHL(DTED.java:322)
at gov.nasa.worldwind.formats.dted.DTED.rea d(DTED.java:123)

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)

A new AVList argument was added to gov.nasa.worldwind.formats.dted.DTED.rea d()
This gets called by gov.nasa.worldwind.data.DTEDRasterReader .doRead(), which has always accepted an AVList argument, but now it passes it to the read() method.
The problem happens in the line in bold. We still send a null value for the AVList argument, but this null eventually gets operated on, leading to the NPE.

Has there been any progress towards getting a fix for this into the code?

@dksteele sorry, no, not yet. The forum post linked above contained a work around.
