                ProtocolException is special, in that it does not auto-fill the
                stacktrace. This is needed because usually a ProtocolException is caused
                by a party doing a bad action. Creating a stacktrace pointing to the
                class reporting the protocol exception (usually, the protocol handler)
                makes no sense as the protocol handler is doing the correct job there.

                        be null, eg if it can not be determined which party
                        failed. Null should be avoided if possible at all.
