Message669

Hi.  If you're using a readline console and you enter
a blank line (such as when you end an indented block
in a for loop, etc), ReadlineConsole returns a null input
string and jython breaks with an error.

This all seems to happen because the java-readline wrappers
return null if an empty string was input.

A patch that fixes this problem is shown below.  The bug
was originally reported as #145613 in the Debian BTS
(http://bugs.debian.org/145613).

Thanks - Ben.
