Subject: Silence an annoying exception in acmMetrics


> Hi,
> 
> With this patch, it makes debugging in acm
> stuff a bit easier.  It silences an exception in
> acmMetrics.
> 
> Basically what is happening is that acmMetrics
> calls MSACM_GetObject on the incoming hao
> parameter.  Inside MSACM_GetObject, it calls
> IsBadReadPtr, if that fails it returns NULL.
> However, it is possible for the incoming 
> hao parameter to be NULL, so this IsBadReadPtr
> causes an exception (and breaks in the debugger).
> Of course, you can pass this exception and everything
> works fine, but it makes things confusing when 
> mixed in with REAL exceptions....
> 
> So I basically check for NULL, and if it is NULL
> I don't call MSACM_GetObject.  Nothing is really
> changed, just less times I have to type "pass."
