Description of problem:
$ cat Test1.java
 
public class Test1 {
 
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.getProperties().list(System.out);
  }
 
}

$ emacs -nw -q --no-site-file \
--eval '(global-font-lock-mode t)' \
--eval '(setq debug-on-error t)' Test1.java

This results in the error:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil)
  goto-char(nil)
  eval((goto-char (match-beginning 4)))
  font-lock-fontify-keywords-region(1 119 nil)
  font-lock-default-fontify-region(1 119 nil)
  font-lock-fontify-region(1 119)
  run-hook-with-args(font-lock-fontify-region 1 119)
  jit-lock-fontify-now(1 501)
  jit-lock-function(1)

This seems to happen with any java file. (the above file is just a simple
sample)  The -nw option is not necessary, I just specify it to make sure that
the problem is not due to some X font problem.  This problem resulted after an
upgrade from rh 8.0 to rh 9.
