Unable to send NUL frame to the remote peer when automatic MIME header addition is turned off

What steps will reproduce the problem?
- I disabled automatic MIME header addition using the API
"vortex_profiles_set_automatic_mime". Now I am not able to send NUL frame to 
the remote peer.


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- Application should be able to send NUL frames when automatic MIME header 
addition is disabled. But currently the application crashes. Please find more 
information below in the last section.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- I am using Vortex 1.1.8 on Win32 platform

Please provide any additional information below.

I debugged vortex code to find the reason. Here is what I found out.
I invoke "vortex_channel_finalize_ans_rpy" API that internally invokes
"__vortex_channel_common_rpy" with message size as zero, message as NULL and 
feeder also as NULL. Because automatic MIME header addition is disabled the 
following condition in "__vortex_channel_common_rpy" function fails.
"if (feeder == NULL && (message != NULL || data->message_size > 0))"
So it enters the ELSE where it finds that feeder is NULL. Hence the
application crashes.

Thanks
