> AbstractFileObject.getChildren() creates *children* array and then fills it by resolving child names via FileSystemManager.resolveName(). If the latter method throws an exception (in my case it's "Invalid descendent file name "pci-0000:00:07.1-scsi-0:0:0:0""), children array is left as is with some of the entries = null, that inevitably results in NPE on the next getChildren() call:
> at org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.AbstractFileSystem.resolveFile(AbstractFileSystem.java:319)
> 	at org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.AbstractFileSystem.resolveFile(AbstractFileSystem.java:314)
> 	at org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.AbstractFileObject.resolveFile(AbstractFileObject.java:723)
> 	at org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.AbstractFileObject.resolveFiles(AbstractFileObject.java:715)
> 	at org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.AbstractFileObject.getChildren(AbstractFileObject.java:618)
> 	at org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.ftp.FtpFileObject.getChildren(FtpFileObject.java:412)
> since AbstractFileObject.getChildren() only checks that *children* instance is not null
