Hi Mathias,

My first question is, did you do DataReferenceImpl.setData() before adding
the DataReferenceImpls to the display?  If not, it would explain the "Data
is null" errors you are getting.  If you did call setData() first, however,
then it's probably a bug in BasicSSCell, and I'll look into it.
