When XPath exceptions are created by the constructor with the specified cause
the method getCause() returns null instead of the specified cause.

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

  api/javax_xml/xpath/XPathException/index.html#Ctor[Ctor001]
  api/javax_xml/xpath/XPathExpressionException/index.html#Ctor[Ctor001]
  api/javax_xml/xpath/XPathFactoryConfigurationException/index.html#Ctor[Ctor001]
  api/javax_xml/xpath/XPathFunctionException/index.html#Ctor[Ctor001]

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

The tests do not fail on jdk1.5 builds prior jdk1.5.0-beta2-b41.
