New JCK test
api/java_lang/System/index.html#getenv[getenv001]
fails on jdk1.5.0-b21.

API spec for method System.getenv(String name) reads:
  "NullPointerException - if name is null"

But JDK implementation does not throw NPE.
To reproduce bug the following simple test can be used:
========================test.java======================
public class test {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        System.getenv(null);
    }
}
=======================================================
$ javac -d . test.java
novo148$ /export/ld25/java/dest/jdk1.5.0/solaris-sparc/bin/java -version
java version "1.5.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta-b21)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0-beta-b21, mixed mode)
$ /export/ld25/java/dest/jdk1.5.0/solaris-sparc/bin/java -cp . test
$

As we can see, no exception is thrown.
