Several JCK tests for TextLayout constructor fail (surprise !)
They all fail because they use a null FRC.
We need a CSR for this anyway but I'll need to co-ordinate problem listing
those tests as part of this bug so we don't see failures as soon as it is
pushed.

That's interesting. I'd have assumed what you changed it to would be the
answer in such. a case ? Why was it like this ? Perhaps it was never possible
before and this was intended to 'flag a problem' ??

This doesn't change anything, does it ? So why is the change made ? This - and
white space changes - make it look like there are more changes than there
really are.

Why is this change needed ? I'm supposing that for zero length start==limit==0
but we get here because TextLine calls it in a do { ... } block so will call it
at least once, and I wonder if that should change ? So why did you do it this
way ?
