One of the errors I found in Beta 1.3 was caused when a null source
value is passed to the BeanUtils class. The target value should be set
to null in this case but it isn't because of a recent change. Here is a
patch. Whoever applies this might want to look at this in context and
check for null before attempting conversion.
