> Similar to CAMEL-21376, UseOriginalAggregationStrategy  fails to capture an exception with an NPE if the oldExchange is null (the first message in an aggregation).
> The exception is as follows:
> {code:java}
> java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "org.apache.camel.Exchange.setException(java.lang.Throwable)" because "oldExchange" is null
> 	at org.apache.camel.processor.aggregate.UseOriginalAggregationStrategy.aggregate(UseOriginalAggregationStrategy.java:70)
> 	at org.apache.camel.AggregationStrategy.aggregate(AggregationStrategy.java:86)
> 	at org.apache.camel.processor.MulticastProcessor.doAggregateInternal(MulticastProcessor.java:944)
> 	at org.apache.camel.processor.MulticastProcessor.doAggregateSync(MulticastProcessor.java:922)
> 	at org.apache.camel.processor.MulticastProcessor.doAggregate(MulticastProcessor.java:905)
> 	at org.apache.camel.processor.MulticastProcessor$MulticastTask.aggregate(MulticastProcessor.java:462)
> 	at org.apache.camel.processor.MulticastProcessor$MulticastReactiveTask.lambda$run$0(MulticastProcessor.java:605)
> ...
> {code}
> The relevant bit of code appears to be this:
> {code:java}
>             if (exception != null) {
>                 if (original != null) {
>                     original.setException(exception);
>                 } else {
> ==>                 oldExchange.setException(exception);
>                 }
>             }
> {code}
> A camel route that would reproduce this issue is as follows:
> {code:java}
> from(direct("reproducer"))
>             .errorHandler(noErrorHandler())
>             .recipientList(constant(
>                 "direct:reproducer1," +
>                 "direct:reproducer2"))
>             .aggregationStrategy(AggregationStrategies.useOriginal());
> from(direct("reproducer1"))
>             .log("reproducer1")
>             .process(exchange -> {throw new RuntimeException("reproducer1");});
> from(direct("reproducer2"))
>             .log("reproducer2");
> {code}
> A reproducer project has been provided here (by my colleague Ferenc): [https://github.com/FerencKissJs/use-original-aggregation-strategy-null-pointer-exception]
> Pulling the project and running "mvn clean test" should show the bug being triggered
> Happy to provide a PR if needed, but not sure what the correct fix should be as simply adding a null check would cause the exception to be lost?
