An emergency patch to avoid that a non-breaking space at the end of an

fo:inline with padding, followed by another fo:inline, while
text-align is justify, does not cause a NullPointerException due to
InlineStackingLayoutManager.addALetterSpaceTo(). Patch submitted by
Max Berger <max@berger.name>, applied with some modifications. This
patch solves bug 39571.
