NullPointerException in cvslib

Hello there!

I would be glad if somebody could help me sorting out this problem:

It's been a while I'm having the following stacktrace printout in my application's log:

java.lang.NullPointerException
        at org.netbeans.lib.cvsclient.command.commit.CommitBuilder.processRevision(CommitBuilder.java:155)
        at org.netbeans.lib.cvsclient.command.commit.CommitBuilder.parseLine(CommitBuilder.java:111)

        ...

This happens when I call the commit command using the cvslib.jar lib for netbeans 3.5. This is probably just an Exception.printStackTrace() call from inside cvslib. I confirmed that the files are being commited to the cvs repository so apparently there's no error, it's just a stacktrace message.

I tried to download the source code from repository with the cvs "-r release35" option, but still I couldn't figure out what's causing the message above to be printed out. Perhaps I'm getting the wrong version of the source code?

Thanks in advance,
