Description of problem:
The java.lang.Runtime.addShutdownHook() method causes gij to throw a 
NullPointerException. This does not occur on the sun java interpreter.  In 
fact, the documentation for addShutdownHook 
(http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html) does not not 
indicate that NullPointerException can even be thrown.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libgcj-3.2.2-5

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile the sample program using the sun jdk.
2. Run the class using gij.
3.
    
Actual results:
A java.lang.NullPointerException is thrown.

Expected results:
Program should run normally as it does with the sun interpreter.
