[Marcus Better]

Package: rhino
Version: 1.7R2~pre-2
Severity: serious

rhino throws NullPointerException when invoked from the command line:

~$ rhino
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.mozilla.javascript.Kit.classOrNull(Kit.java:92)
        at org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.ShellLine.getStream(ShellLine.java:65)
        at org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Global.init(Global.java:153)
        at org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Global$1.run(Global.java:108)
        at org.mozilla.javascript.Context.call(Context.java:502)
        at org.mozilla.javascript.ContextFactory.call(ContextFactory.java:511)

        at org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main.exec(Main.java:158)
        at org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main.main(Main.java:140)

This does not happen with 1.7R1-2.
