We encounter this exception and VM crash when running JavaTest 3.0.1 under the "latest" Merlin build. Could you please investigate the swing portion of this bug? The HotSpot error is new in build b68, but the CSS problem has existed much further back.

This JavaTest initializes without exception in JDK 1.3, 1.3.1 and 1.4beta until build b50 (exclusive).

Tell me if the stack trace and command line below isn't enough to determine the cause of the NPE.
