 Description   

Hi,

While trying to parse a message with a repeating group on the header
627 (NoHops) =2
628 (HopCompID) =_TED02A
629 (HopSendingTime) =20090701-11:45:29.597
628 (HopCompID) =_GWSURV
629 (HopSendingTime) =20090701-11:50:31.284

I'm receiving the following error on my events log:

20090701-13:23:56: Error during message processing
java.lang.NullPointerException
at quickfix.DataDictionary.iterate(DataDictionary.java:624)
at quickfix.DataDictionary.validate(DataDictionary.java:589)
at quickfix.Session.next(Session.java:778)
at quickfix.mina.ThreadPerSessionEventHandlingStrategy$MessageDispatchingThread.run(ThreadPerSessionEventHandlingStrategy.java:85)

The repeating group is defined in the dictionary, and i'm aso trating other repeating groups (not on the header) with no issue.

Thanks
