#208 NullPointerException in furi.SendWorker.run
mgoldey reports that Mansfield gets exceptions when he
tries to reply to a personal message. Here is the
transcript of an email from him about it:
"""
If you take a look at
http://mansfield.furthurnet.net/mrtg/mansfield.furthurnet.org_18.43.0.177.html
you'll see all outgoing traffic coming to a halt at
about midnight.
Someone sent a PM to mitfast1 overnight as well. There
was no error in
the X window from which Furthur was running until I
tried to reply, at
which point I got:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at furi.SendWorker.run(SendWorker.java:74)
at java.Lang.Thread.run(thread.java:536)
Each time I typed a line and hit return, another one of
those popped up.
The same content appeared in the error console.
"""
This would be good for a new developer to look at. Note
that Mansfield rusn the 1.7.3 release, so you should be
looking at the Furthur173 branch of CVS to match the
line numbers in the exception stack trace.

Possibly related behavior:
1) Right clicking a partial and checking the "progress" does
not open the usual progress window, and the GUI freezes.
Furthur continues to run, but does not recover the GUI.
2) Right clicking a share to see who is uploading it works
fine, but if the resulting menu is left open for too long,
the GUI freezes, as per above.
In both cases, no exceptions are thrown. The GUI simply
stops responding. This may be related to running in an X
environment in Debian through VNC. This behavior is not
common, in my experience, for the client in either Debian
(running KDE) generally or in Windows XP.
