    Environment:

     

    Web Agent 12.52SP1CR08 64bit on Apache 2.4.29 64bit on RedHat 6;

     

    Cause:

     

    The code was allowing a null pointer exception where the code is trying to clear a list which was empty. The fix will be available to Web Agent 12.52SP1CR09

     

    Resolution:

     

    Upgrade the Web Agent to 12.52SP1CR09 when it will be available.
