----------------------------------
Ugh, my comment came in late :-), this issue is indeed the same as LANG-37.
> 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?
