JOID fails to handle openID username with query string

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. User attempts to login with username such as
http://www.mycompanycom/?user=XXX@anothercompany.com 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected behavior is user is redirected to login form.
Instead the following is logged.
java.lang.NullPointerException: null
org.verisign.joid.consumer.JoidConsumer.getAuthUrl (JoidConsumer.java:176)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest version from SVN.  OS is windows but this should not matter.

Please provide any additional information below.

Suggest the following changes:

Util.send:
            char token = '?';
            if(dest.indexOf('?') > -1) {
                token = '&';
            }
        URL url = new URL(dest+ token +toSend);
JOIDConsumer.getAuthURL
        String serverURL = idserver.getServer();
        char token = '?';
        if(serverURL.indexOf('?') > -1) {
            token = '&';
        }
        return  serverURL+ token + ar.toUrlString();

Both of these will check for the existence of a query string prior to
automatically appending a ?.  If there is already a query string, just
append the remainder onto the existing query string starting with a '&'.
