Small patch for java/text/AttributedString.java

[Dalibor Topic]

Hi all,

the attached patch fixes a small problem in AttributedString that 
prevented FOP from working with it on kaffe.

OK to check in?

        * libraries/javalib/java/text/AttributedString.java 
(addAttribute(AttributedCharacterIterator.Attribute,Object,int,int)):
        Use HashMap instead of Hashtable since value can be null, and
        we can not store a null value in a Hashtable.

cheers,
