Hi All

This is a request to backport a jdk8 fix into jdk7u-dev.

8019267: NPE in AbstractSaslImpl when trace level >= FINER in KRB5

   http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8019267

The fix is already included in jdk8 as:

   http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/780a64979c8d

It was reviewed [1] by Sean Mullan.

The fix for 7u-dev is almost identical to the jdk8 one and is at

   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/8019267/7u-dev/webrev.00/

It has also been reviewed [2] by Sean.
The fix is low-risk, and isolated. A regression test is modified to cover it. Other tests also run fine. 

Thanks
Weijun
