Description From Tim Freeman 2010-06-19 15:50:13

There is a problem in a certain retrieve situation (see the fix), the code is
trying to use a nonexistent object instead of signalling its absence up the
stack.  This can cause null pointer exceptions like below being returned to the
context agents.


java.lang.NullPointerException
