I have updated BMimeType in hrev43858 so that 2 uninitialized
BMimeType objects are considered equal and an uninitialized BMimeType
object is considered to be equal to one that is initialized to NULL.
In terms of the program above the results are now:
m1 == m2
m1 == NULL
m3 == m4
m3 == NULL
I have noted in the doxygen comments in the source that this is an
intentional break from BeOS R5. That should eventually make its way
into the Haiku Book so that this incompatibility will eventually be
documented.
Thank you,
