Local fix
You can reduce tracing to finer or below on the BaseBL class to work around this issue.
Problem summary
A trace statement was using a possible null valued variable outside the null value check which results in the NullPointerException when that trace level (finest) is enabled.
Problem conclusion
The trace statement was moved inside the null value check.
Temporary fix
