I had run into this when prior to 23245f723f
"external/nss: Fix rpath for Linux et al" that call had failed at least for my
Linux ASan+UBSan build, causing UITest_calc_tests to fail with
> ../../lib/cryptohi/sechash.c:443:16: runtime error: member access within null pointer of type 'HASHContext' (aka 'struct HASHContextStr')
> #0 in HASH_Begin at workdir/UnpackedTarball/nss/nss/out/Debug/../../lib/cryptohi/sechash.c:443:16 (instdir/program/libnss3.so +0x3c47eb)
> #1 in comphelper::HashImpl::HashImpl(comphelper::HashType) at comphelper/source/misc/hash.cxx:78:9 (instdir/program/libcomphelper.so +0x149945a)
> #2 in comphelper::Hash::Hash(comphelper::HashType) at comphelper/source/misc/hash.cxx:96:16 (instdir/program/libcomphelper.so +0x1496eb7)

because that HASH functionality was used even though initializing it had failed.
Throwing a RuntimeException appears to be effective, even though conceptually
not the best approach: at least doing "Export Directly as PDF" of a fresh Writer
document fails cleanly with an error box "Error saving the document Untitled 1:
General Error. General input/output error."

Helper functionality for implementing UNO components ...anything not generic/mature enough to end up in URE's stable interface at cppuhelper etc.
