Nullpointer when running testrunner on solaris console

I'm trying to run the testrunner.sh script from a solaris console.
I pass in a test.xml file containing my testcases. I can see that the tests are run, the server is responding correctly, but when the response comes back I get a NullPointerException(Stacktrace below).
Running the same test on my Windows machine (in cygwin/bash so I run the .sh script there as well, unmodified) is working just fine.
So I'm guessing that it has something to do with running java in headless mode on a remote console without a display.

I tried to set the headless mode using:
-Djava.awt.headless=true
But I get the same error.

Stacktrace:
10:47:31,069 ERROR [WsdlTestCaseRunner] Exception during TestCase Execution

    Great.

    I'm guessing that the error originates from here:

    protected AbstractHttpRequest( T config, AbstractHttpOperation parent, String icon, boolean forLoadTest )
      {
          super( config, parent, icon );

          if( !forLoadTest && !UISupport.isHeadless() )
          {
    -->probably not run at all?
            iconAnimator = initIconAnimator();
    -->
            addSubmitListener( iconAnimator );
          }

          initAttachments();

          dumpFile = new SettingPathPropertySupport( this, DUMP_FILE );
      }

    I think I have run into a similar issue...trying to run my tests on a Solaris machine via ant, and they will only run if the DISPLAY is set to my local laptop.  On Windows there is no such issue.

    I will wait for the next build...
