Jardo, can you please take a look on this since you've added a logging in there for you to have more info.
Old JDKs, and old NetBeans versions (7.3beta2). Anyway this looks like a problem on a JDK side. There is low probability of making mistake in static initializer that would demonstrate itself randomly.
