[xmlblaster] lostConnection in I_ConnectionProblems doesn't report all

[Marcel Ruff <mr at marcelruff.info>]

My xmlblaster setup uses lostConnection from I_ConnectionProblems to
implement a custom failover strategy on the client side.

I noticed that sometimes when I shutdown the xmlblaster server
instance and the current connection is using XMLRPC, I get the
following exception on the client side, which does NOT get reported to
lostConnection():

[Mar 23, 2003 1:04:59 AM ERROR LoginThread-matighet] Unexpected 
exception while login polling: java.lang.NullPointerException

Furthermore, the connection seems to otherwise take publish calls just
fine (but obviously cannot deliver them).

I'll try upgrading to the latest CVS (just in case someone already
fixed it), as I'm running 2 weeks or so behind.
