does anybody know why mauve tests whether the implementation
throws a NullPointerException under certain circumstances?

I've got Kaffe's java.util.Vector down to:

FAIL: gnu.testlet.java.util.Vector.AcuniaVectorTest: should throw NullPointerException (number 1)
FAIL: gnu.testlet.java.util.Vector.AcuniaVectorTest: should throw NullPointerException (number 1)
FAIL: gnu.testlet.java.util.Vector.AcuniaVectorTest: should throw NullPointerException (number 1)
FAIL: gnu.testlet.java.util.Vector.AcuniaVectorTest: should throw NullPointerException (number 1)
4 of 388 tests failed

and all of these tests fail because mauve expects
Vector.removeAll() and Vector.retainAll() to throw
a NullPointerException when the collection passed
as a parameter is null. I wouldn't call that a
correct behaviour, though.
