****************************************************************
There is a timing window in which an IOR for a member we are
trying to select on has been lost, which we use in the
selection process.  This causes a NullPointerException to be
thrown from the IIOPRoutingHelper.<init> method.
Problem conclusion
In the event that the member we are trying to select on does
not have an IOR, we will for this one request only route
through the LSD.
