Colin,
You might want to try this on Shib-users - I don't know whether Chad hangs
out in here.
In general, however, if code throws an NPE that's a bug which should be
reported. Take a look in JIRA and see whether this has been reported
before.
I'll also note that version 1.1.1 turned up yesterday so you might want to
try that first.
