While doing AWT integration testing for build 39, we found the following
problem: a panic before the splash screen for the swingset even appears.

It happens with our integration build, and also with the nightly merlin build.
It does not happen with the promoted build 38. So, it is new, but it happened
before the AWT and EE integrations into build 39.

Using motif 1.2 or 2.1 seems to have no effect: the panic probably happens
before motif comes into play.

Running on Solaris sparc 2.8 (awt-lab-02, an Ultra-1) and remotely displaying
to Solaris sparc 2.7 (gradgrind, an Ultra 10)

BTW, my CLASSPATH environment variable was not set.

This does not happen when I run without the -g -classic options.
