Hi Guys - I thought   this used to give something more graceful than a core error - it passes a NULL through i.e

$x = null;
$params['custom_1'] = $x;
$result = civicrm_api('Contact','create', $params);

Doesn't die gracefully.

    function testActivityCreateCustomUseEmpty( )
    {
        $ids = $this->entityCustomGroupWithSingleFieldCreate( __FUNCTION__,__FILE__);
        $x = null;
        $params = $this->_params;
        $params['custom_'.$ids['custom_field_id']]  =  $x;
 
        $result = civicrm_api($this->_entity,'create', $params);
        $this->documentMe($params,$result  ,__FUNCTION__,__FILE__);
        $this->assertNotEquals( $result['is_error'],1 ,$result['error_message'] . ' in line ' . __LINE__);
        $result = civicrm_api($this->_entity,'get',array('return.custom_'.$ids['custom_field_id'] => 1,         'version' =>3, 'id' => $result['id']));
        $this->assertEquals("custom string", $result['values'][$result['id']]['custom_' .$ids['custom_field_id'] ],' in line ' . __LINE__);
 
        $this->customFieldDelete($ids['custom_field_id']);
        $this->customGroupDelete($ids['custom_group_id']);
