NullPointerException (NPE) in 
FastDateFormat.getInstance(FastDateFormat.java:211)

                 Key: LANG-429
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-429
             Project: Commons Lang
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.2
         Environment: MS Windows XP (SP 2), Java 1.5.0 Update 11
            Reporter: Kai Burjack


Sometimes (sadly this is not reproducible) the following method call results in 
a NullPointerException (NPE):

Stacktrace:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at 
org.apache.commons.lang.time.FastDateFormat.getInstance(FastDateFormat.java:211)
        at 
org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateFormatUtils.format(DateFormatUtils.java:258)
        at 
org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateFormatUtils.format(DateFormatUtils.java:232)

I don't know how this is actually possible, since the exception is being raised 
when accessing a static field 'cInstanceCache' that will be implicitly 
initialized...

Could this have something to do with class gc?
