[Pdl] java exceptions from ProductClient.jar

[Peter Lombard]

Hi,

I'm running ProductClient.jar 1.7.3 in "eidsoutputwedge" mode as described on
http://ehppdl1.cr.usgs.gov/userguide/eidsoutputwedge.html. I have outputFormat
set to cube.txt, and I am getting files in the outputdir. However, the log
file is reporting lots of Null Pointer exceptions, less that 1 every 10
cube.txt files.

Is this a known issue?

Here is the top of my log file:
