NullPointerException when string contains closing HTML tag without a matching opening one

[mpaluchowski]

Scanning the following code will cause a NullPointerException:

component {
  function render() {
    writeOutput("</div>");
  }
}

There is no exception when:

• there's a preceding writeOutput("<div>"); line
• the string contains anything else than the closing HTML tag, ie. writeOutput("div") (the opening tag, instead of the closing one) or writeOutput("foo").

Interesting. That happens as part of the 'detection' process whether it is pure cfscript or cfml. The message is now suppressed unless you have vebose enabled.
