null reference when connecting fails?

PHP Warning:  mysqli::mysqli(): (28000/1045): Access denied for user 'EasyMySQLi-User'@'xx' (using password: YES) in .../test.php on line 12
Dropping Test-Table if exists / queryNoResult(...) - Simple QueryPHP Warning:  mysqli::stmt_init(): Couldn't fetch EasyMySQLi in .../EasyMySQLi.inc.php on line 262
PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function prepare() on null in .../EasyMySQLi.inc.php on line 316

supposed to throw an exception in both places (line 316 as well as when connecting fails) instead of php fatal error...
