Description Patrick Kelley CLA 2004-05-27 15:36:04 EDT 
Just started using build 200405140800, and we noticed this null pointer 
exception when the SSE XML model is about to save:

XMLContentDescriber.describe() doesn't deal with a null "description" 
parameter,
which is bad news since ContentTypeManager.internalFindContentsFor() is passing
a null description explicitly.

That is true. This has been reported yesterday and fixed right away.
