> (This is using the latest 2.13-SNAPSHOT)
> Using forkMode=perthread, the child processes sometimes abort with this
> exception:
> java.lang.NullPointerException
> at java.io.File.<init>(File.java:251)
> at
> org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.BooterDeserializer.deserialize(BooterDeserializer.java:61)
> at
> org.apache.maven.surefire.booter.ForkedBooter.main(ForkedBooter.java:63)
> It only happens sometimes.
> Using -X keeps the temp files, and looking at the file that's supposed to
> pass the properties, I see that the file is truncated midway, causing the
> exception.
> Possibly the parent process needs to *flush* the file after it writes to it
> before is closes it.
