The following valid template stopped working once we switched from Javatest 4.3b20 to Javatest 4.4b10:

> <JAVA> -cp <javatest.jar> com.sun.javatest.cof.Main -ts <JCK-runtime-7> -o report.cof -xsd <JCK_WORKDIR>

Now the following NPE is thrown and an empty report.cof is generated:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.sun.javatest.cof.COFTest.checkLostTestCases(COFTest.java:253)
        at com.sun.javatest.cof.COFTest.<init>(COFTest.java:181)

        at com.sun.javatest.cof.Main.run(Main.java:315)

Specifying a new argument '-mtl' helps.
