Java/C++ Registrar Toolkit for EPP V04

I am using Version 0.3.0 of the NeuLevel RTK (Java) supplied by telnic.
When connecting I receive a greeting and then an exception occours:

java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredTextImpl cannot
be cast to org.w3c.dom.Element
at com.neulevel.epp.core.EppServiceMenu.fromXML(EppServiceMenu.java:267)

at
com.neulevel.epp.transport.tcp.EppSessionTcp.connect(EppSessionTcp.java:257
)

Here is the greeting, but it looks ok:
