NullPointerException in BinaryStorage [message #661913]

Hello,

we have encountered a NullPointerException in the method "deleteEmptyParentFolders" of the class "BssIOUtils". It seems that the call "leafFolder.list()" returns null so that the call of the method "length" throws a NullPointerException.

We have fixed this by adding a new condition "leafFolder.list() != null" to the while head. Is this correct or has this side effects that we have missed?

Thanks for the hint, the fix sounds OK to me. Probably a multi-threading
issue where
two threads try to delete the same folder at the same time? I will add the
fix to
our trunk.
