Run the attached script crash.sh; a NULL jstr is passed to
GetStringLength. 1.4b70 and earlier will fail with an assertion in the
VM ('allocating a handle inside a NoHandleMark'), later builds will SEGV
in jni_GetStringLength (the code that triggered the assert in the VM is
a bug and is being removed, since JNI routines are not required to check
for NULL arguments).
