+	* netx/net/sourceforge/jnlp/runtime/JNLPClassLoader.java: (getPermissions):
+	Any exception from this method is consumed somewhere. I have cough exception,
+	reprint it in debug mode and re-throw (to be lost). Main condition in this
+	method had several possible NullPointer exceptions. Separated and thrown before
