--- Comment #4 from PJ Fanning <fannin...@yahoo.com> ---
I'm not sure about this change. The existing methods don't appear to have ever
been expected to return null. I'd prefer if any change involved us returning an
exception. Since the existing methods don't expose exceptions either, we would
be stuck with using something that extends RuntimeException (to avoid API
changes in a patch release).

In the short term, anyone who hits this issue will need to catch
NullPointerException.

Until we get other people reporting similar issues, I think we can assume this
is not an endemic issue.
