Re: Null pointer on IFSFile delete?

How about retrying the delete? Which returns me to my question: how

throw away the object, create a new one and try to delete the new
one?

The IFSFile object had been accessed moments before.

I thought about adding retry logic ... but, unfortunately, this is a late change for a release we're trying to get out the door. Catching the npe, and leaving some files in the /tmp directory, is lower risk than trying to implement retry logic. Especially since I can't reproduce the problem in a controlled fashion.

Thanks for the suggestions.
