gf 3.1.2 hanging, NPE during jstack

Hi all,

One of our GF 3.1.2 servers just hung, and after a restart immediately hung
again. Running jstack both times gives us an NPE that I haven't seen
before. Does anyone know what this might mean? (Google doesn't seem to know
much about it except for other examples of it.)

Thanks,
Bobby
