I am using lucene 2.3.2 search APIs for my application, i am indexing 45GB 
database which creates approax 200MB index file, after finishing the indexing 
and while running optimize() i can see NullPointerExcception thrown in my log 
and index file is getting corrupted, log says

------------------------------------------------------------------------
and this is happening quite frequently, although I am not able to reproduce it 
on demand, I saw an issue logged which is some what related to mine issue 
(http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-solr-user/200809.mbox/%3c6e4a40db-5efc-42da-a857-d59f4ec34...@mikemccandless.com%3e)
 but the only difference here is I am not using Store.Compress for my fields, i 
am using Store.NO instead. please note that I am using IBM JRE for my 
application.

Is this an issue with lucene?, if yes it is fixed in which version?
