[MOBY-dev] Calling moby-async category services

[Paul Gordon]

Bonjour Sylvie,

Thanks for pointing this out.  The handler is null as it's supposed to 
be, but the lack of a StringBuffer was indeed the culprit.  This has 
been fixed, and I'm adding a unit test for this (I'd always called 
asynchronous services asynchronously( or sync ones either syncly or 
asyncly), and so didn't catch this before)..
