The regression test (testbase_nsk) nsk/regression/b4303423 fails under
the HotSpot Client VM (build product+2.0+baseline+compiler1+20000401-003153, compiled mode)
on Solaris.

The test calls the abstract method declared in the interface
but not defined in the class which implements this interface.
The test expects an AbstractMethodError to be thrown.

When the test runs under the HotSpot in the compiled mode
a NullPointerException is thrown instead of AbstractMethodError.

In the mixed and interpreted modes the test passes.

To reproduce the bug run doit.sh on Solaris in
/net/sqesvr/vsn/GammaBase/Bugs/<this bug number>:
   doit.sh <JDK root directory> -Xcomp

The first parameter for doit.sh should be JDK root directory
(e.g. /export/ld/java/jdk1.3/solaris) and the other parameter(s) -
VM option(s) (optional, e.g. -Xcomp for the current case).

This bug had been fixed and integrated (see #4303925) but shows nonetheless.
