This is a bad fix IMNSHO :-(

Why was getObject not returning an object?

That condition has been accepted for far too long and, reading the rest 
of the thread here, seems to be a bug in this case.

Furthermore, rather than effectively re-implementing getObject in CMF 
code, why didn't we just catch the exceptions that are now being raised?

Anyone mind if I revert this checking?

cheers,

Chris - hmm, this tyre has a puncture, lets put more air in it but not 
actually patch the hole...
