Intermittent NullPointerException from AjaxContextImpl

Hello all,

I'm getting the following intermittent stack trace in my logs (along with a corresponding failed request to a servlet):

Any ideas on what might be wrong? I've spent several hours looking at this and I've not been able to solve it.

We're using RichFaces 3.2.1.GA, JBoss 4.2.2.GA, JDK 6 (u10, b27), Seam 2.0.2.SP1. Also tried with JBoss 4.2.3.GA-jdk6, but no joy.

Best regards,

Chris.
