Incompatible change with Exception

[Berin Loritsch <bl...@apache.org>]

The new throws exception on the getInterfaces() method is not
backwards compatible.  I will add something to catch exceptions
in my own code for future proofing, but you can't add new
exceptions to a method and have it work with existing code.

My project fails GUMP due to this change:
