Bug or change in behavoir ? Commons IO

I have recently tried updating from Commons IO 2.16.1 to Commons IO 2.18.0

My java program constantly polls a folder for the presence of files. Normally 
this will be a remote folder on a windows share.

In Commons IO 2.16.1 when I use FileUtils.listFiles it would trigger an 
exception if the folder being polled became unavailable and I would use this to 
trigger an action.

In Commons IO 2.18.0 the error does not occur.

I have created a very simple test program to illustrate this.

Running this code with Commons IO 2.16.1 and passing an invalid (non existent) 
path to it gives me the following exception (which in my case is desirable):

import java.io.File;

import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;

public class Test2161
{

        public static void main(String[] args)
        {
                File dir = new File("/Users/dave/Downloads/nonexistent");
                
                try
                {
                        FileUtils.listFiles(dir, args, false);
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                        System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
                        ex.printStackTrace();
                }
        }
}

        ... 2 more



If however I run the same code with Commons IO 2.18.0 I get nothing, no 
indication that the path is not valid which make it difficult to determine if 
the folder is empty or the remote file server is shutdown.

Am I supposed to use a different way to accomplish the same error condition now 
?

Thanks

Dave
