Error description
Customer is getting NPE when using RAMCategorySchema from RAM API to get sub category based on parent category id. This has found to be a valid defect against RAM. RAMCategorySchema has a problem in that whenever you ask for getSubCategoryById() it permanently remembers what subcategories were available *at that time*. Now when we ask it the twice using that API - the second time it failed as it never updated its internal map. This will be fixed in RAM 7.5.1.0.
Local fix
