NullPointerException is not thrown in cases when XPath exceptions are created by the
constructor with the null message. According to the javadoc NullPointerException
should be thrown.

The bug affects the new JCK1.5-beta1 tests:

  api/javax_xml/xpath/XPathException/index.html#Ctor[Ctor004]
  api/javax_xml/xpath/XPathExpressionException/index.html#Ctor[Ctor004]
  api/javax_xml/xpath/XPathFactoryConfigurationException/index.html#Ctor[Ctor004]
  api/javax_xml/xpath/XPathFunctionException/index.html#Ctor[Ctor004]

The sample is provided below; it fails on JDK 1.5.0-beta-b41.
