NullPointerException: JobTracker.resolveAndAddToTopology - Failed to run Job on new hadoop 2.0.0 (CDH4.51)

After a new installation of CDH4.51 (Hadoop 2.0.0) we get this exception
when trying to run a job.  We have not done any configuration of rack
awareness (everything is in /default). 

 

Job initialization failed:

java.lang.NullPointerException

This bug looked related, but we couldn't work out a solution from the
comments:

 

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-50

 

Any ideas?

Thanks,
