[Pierre-Marie de Rodat]

This patch updates predicate Null_Status to prevent an infinite
recursion when the argument is an illegal object declaration of an
access type.

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

	* sem_util.adb (Null_Status): Assume that an erroneous construct
	has an undefined null status.
