Title: ClassCastException trying to get instance of Image

I am trying to read a gif image using the following line of code:

Image.getInstance(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(gifImagePath),null);

Sometimes, this doesn't work spewing the following error trace:

ERROR [RMI TCP Connection(102)-192.168.0.73] iv.core.ReportGenerator - [B       *****
java.lang.ClassCastException: [B
        at com.lowagie.text.Image.getInstance(Unknown Source)
        at com.lowagie.text.Image.getInstance(Unknown Source)
        at com.intruvert................

Why does this happen? Any idea? Please help.

Thanks
