[Bug awt/25832] New: java.awt.Container#addImpl passes null String to java.awt.LayoutManager

[james dot damour at request dot com]

In GNU CP, java.awt.Container#addImpl sometimes passes a null String to
java.awt.LayoutManager#addLayoutComponent(String, Component).  The Sun JDK does
not.  I *think* that the following patch will fix it without negative
consequences:
