BZ #16: Jmol crashes with a NullPointerException in javax.swing.DefaultListCellRenderer.getListCellRendererComponent

Status fields:

When running doing cacao -jar Jmol.jar 10.00.48 from
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jmol/jmol-10.00.48-binary.tar.gz?download, I
get this stack trace and Jmol freezes:

This does not happen with Sun JVMs. But it does happen too with jamvm, so I
think it's really a Classpath bug.

I close that bug, as it seems to work.  Just tried on powerpc-linux.
