> The implementation of method rotate(List, int) in java.util.Collections is not
> checking the size of the input list prior to attempting the rotation. As a 
> result, when called with an empty List argument a java.lang.ArithmeticException
> will occur because of the the subsequent divide by zero operation. 
> The problem can be demonstrated in the below unit test case ...
> 	public void testRotateEmptyList() {
> 		// Create an *empty* list
> 		List list = new ArrayList();
> 		try {
> 			Collections.rotate(list, 25);
> 		} catch (Exception e) {
> 			fail("Unexpected exception rotating empty List : " + e);
> 		}
> 	}
