In the console output of a job, suddenly this error appears when emails should be sent. The emails are sent, but the job fails and contains the errormessage shown below.

This first occured after installing jenkins 1.501. (The previous version was something like 1.493 or so)

The stacktrace repeats itself, suggesting an infinite loop.

Sorry, i have no idea which component this error is about.
