      I added a check in pbcast.STATE_TRANSFER.StateHeader.writeExternal against null and set the state_id to an empty string if null. In readExternal, I set state_id to null if the string is of length 0. But I think this is only a "dirty" hack. It's not completely clear to me, under which circumstances state_id gets null.

      The pbcast.STATE_TRANSFER.StateHeader class does not check if state_id is null during serialization. This leads in my case to a NullPointerException which stops the complete state transfer and results in two members that are not in sync.
