The following api tests fail on JDK1.5.0-b22:
api/java_lang/SecurityManager/index.html#CheckXXX[SecurityManager0036]
api/java_lang/SecurityManager/index.html#CheckXXX[SecurityManager0037]

The API specification of the method SecurityManager.checkPackageDefinition
reads nothing about NullPointerException, but the following simple example
fails since JDK1.5.0-b20.

===============================test.java=======================
import java.security.Security;

public class test {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        SecurityManager securityExc = new SecurityManager();
        try {
            Security.setProperty("package.definition", "pack1, pack2, pack3");
        } catch (SecurityException se) {
            System.out.println("SecurityException:" + se);
        }
            
        try {
            securityExc.checkPackageDefinition("pack0");
        } catch (SecurityException se) {
            System.out.println("SecurityException:" + se);
        }
    }
}
