nullpointer exception on deployment

In a TestCase that extends DeployingTestBase I am getting a
NullPointerException when trying to
do a deployment using expectSuccessfulTestRun(package,"script").

SmartFrogException:: java.lang.NullPointerException, SmartFrog 3.17.014

Any idea what's causing this? A week ago this happened to me, when I renamed
the test class it went away.
Now the error is back again.

Interestingly when I put this code in the place of expectSucessfulTestRun no
exceptions are thrown, so there can't be a problem reading the script.

URL sfURL = getClass().getResource(package+"script.sf");
InputStream is = sfURL.openConnection().getInputStream();
is.read();
is.close();

Thanks,

Frank Wilson
