A simple bump doesn't seem to entire cut it. With USE=junit, I found the tests
fail:

    [junit] Running org.apache.commons.net.time.TimeTCPClientTest
    [junit] Tests run: 2, Failures: 0, Errors: 1, Time elapsed: 1.093 sec

I put an ebuild up on experimental at

I managed to fix the null pointers, and filed a bug upstream:
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37985

The next issue is that another test in the same TestCase attempts to lookup the
local machine's hostname. If the host doens't have a fully qualified domain
name and doesn't have an entry in /etc/hosts for the hostname, then the test
will fail.

So I looked into it a little more, and apparently you don't get the null
pointers in the first place if you have your hostname in your /etc/hosts file.

Fixed in CVS. I've disabled unit tests for now, until we it can get fixed
upstream...
