Btw, the problem is exatcly the same for NioTcpServer : in the test I'm
running I get some NPE because the session 'state', which is established
in the sessionOpened() event, is sometime null when processing the
messageReceived() event, just because it's processed before the
sessionOpened() event. The fix seems to work too.
