NPE on Windows

[gammay]

A simple test file:

public class PailExampleTest {

    @SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked", "rawtypes" })
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        Pail pail = Pail.create("mypail");
        TypedRecordOutputStream os = pail.openWrite();
        os.writeObject(new byte[] {1, 2, 3});
        os.close();
    }
}

This works on Linux but on Windows throws:
