--- Comment #4 from Stefan Bodewig <bode...@apache.org> --- realThing is set to null in the finally block of execute. There could be a race condition where output is created on the thread that parallel has associated with the thread after the finally block has been run - or rather while the finally block is running in such a way that it has not been null when the instanceof check happend but became null afterwards. This is probably not fixable without synchronization. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
