Major Description
The problem reported by Knut Anders Hatlen in DERBY-646 is caused by improper handling of the temporary directory created for the database.
A NullPointerException was thrown on database shutdown.
After studying the code, I believe it is wise to follow the approach taken by the base storage factory;
o locate the temporary directory within the database directory
(i.e. for database 'mydb' this will by 'mydb/tmp')
o don't create the temporary directory before Derby supplies a unique name to the storage factory
