Comment 3 Blaise Doughan CLA 2011-09-19 12:10:47 EDT 
Fix checked into 2.3.1 at rev:  10115
Fix checked into trunk at rev:  10116

Code reviewed by:  Denise Smith

Fix Details:
In UnmarshalRecord.startCDATA I check to see if the xPathNode is not null before performing actions on it.  It would be null for unmapped content.
