    Description

      In our application (MyFaces 2.1.10, RichFaces 4.2.2), the following exception is sometimes (rarely) thrown when logging in. If that happens, it completely breaks the app, all subsequent login attempts fail with the same exception.

      I'm sorry that I can not give much info, we saw it happening during automated UI tests but have not been able to reproduce it in a way that we can debug it.
