Marcus, can you please open a JIRA for us, anyway, so that we can improve
that code spot to check for nulls? This will avoid such problems in the
future.
If you want to contribute a patch, it is also welcome.
Thanks.
Edson
Of course I'll gladly write a patch for this issue. Although I'm head
over heels in my current project, there's a holiday coming up this
week, so you may expect the patch by the end of the week.
Cheers
Marcus
