Child LayoutContext is null in certain circumstances

           Summary: Child LayoutContext is null in certain circumstances
           Product: Fop
           Version: 1.0dev
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: MacOS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: page-master/layout
        AssignedTo: fop-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: john.kemp@earthlink.net


So, a particular (large) fo file that I tried to convert to PDF crashed FOP. I
looked into the issue and discovered that for whatever reason, a child
LayoutContext was null, and when FOP tried to set the flags for the child
context, it would fail with a null-pointer exception. 

I fixed the issue by putting in some null-checking in the
InlineStackingLayoutManager.java file. I'm not sure if that is the correct
approach but it certainly enabled me to to produce the PDF using FOP, which is a
start :)
