It's ok to post here first, in case it's a VM or Robot bug rather than an Abbot bug (which is the case here).

I saw this a few times on OSX as well (actually a slight variant, but still a NPE at the same spot).  Post 0.8.0 I put in a try/catch block to at least prevent it showing on the console.

If it shows up in 1.4.1, it's worth filing a bug report with Sun, otherwise they probably won't care.
