null pointer exception when attempting to load workspace

We have a production server running RTC v1.0 GA release. One of our
users is attempting to load a workspace. Using a client on another
machine, the load completes fine. But on their laptop, an error occurs
indicating "Problem occurred: Loading repository items (Time of error:
....) Reason: java.lang.NullPointerException". The following stacktrace
is from the .log file. Any clues as to why thi soccuring?
Thanks, Brian

One answer

Doing a search within the bug tracking found the following:
https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Jazz%20Project#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=54254
Seems to be a similar issue that does not appear to have a resolution.
I would suggest that you add any details you can to the bug report to
restart the conversation on the problem.
