Re: fix for 434 uses exceptions as a flow control mechanism?

This is very, very bad practice from a performance perspective (in fact,
everyone should expect to spend time in the next development cycle
reducing the number of caught exceptions like this).

The other way to do it -- call the methods individually and check to see
if they return a null pointer before continuing -- may be a little more
typing, but it is far preferable.
