Bug#387610: Null pointer

Indeed, but it's in the Java section.  We've pretty much been ignoring
the Java testsuite ever since we added it to the build, because free
JVMs have _never_ been able to complete it successfully.  I only added
it in the hopes that someday kaffe (and later, gcj) would manage to
pass the whole thing, at which point I'll change debian/rules to no
longer ignore failure.

The real ia64 build error is further down:

  Running all tests in authz_tests.py...success
  Running all tests in changes-test...success
  Running all tests in fs-base-test...FAILURE

Reading the failure log which is printed at the end of the tests:

  svn_tests: Berkeley DB error for filesystem 'test-repo-open-berkeley' while opening environment:
  svn_tests: Invalid argument
  svn_tests: bdb: DB_REGISTER limits each process to a single open DB_ENV handle
  FAIL:  lt-fs-base-test 2: open an existing Berkeley DB filesystem


Now, you might say, "oh, that's a perfectly clear error message."  And
it is.  What is _not_ clear is why this happens only on ia64.

Thanks,
Peter
