Could you check in this test?  Put it in testsuite/libjava.lang.
Adding a new test is simple: add the .java file and the ".out" file
containing the expected output, and a ChangeLog entry.  No messing
with the test harness required.

Or perhaps at the call site.  This might be better in the case where
we can discover that the object is definitely not null.  (Though I
don't know whether gcc has the machinery to track this sort of thing;
I really know nothing about gcc.)
