The problem seems to be the line in NamingResources that reads:
entries.put( ejb.getName(), ejb.getType() );
Reading back up the stack, it appears that 'ejb' cannot be null,
implying that 'entries' must be null.
My reading of NamingResources shows that it is subtly not thread
safe; none of its instance variables are 'final', which is a problem
if it is created by one thread, and (ever) used by another. Try
making them 'final' and see if the issue goes away. See Java
Concurrency 16.2.
