The "/give" command crashes with an unknown block/item ID

Since I didn't know what the item ID for the Command Block in Minecart I started guessing IDs and when I tried the give command with ID #427 the game crashed with a NullPointerException on the item name but tried to give block 0. It's hard to explain so here is the crash report in text format:
