It's telling you that the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) has caught an
attempt to use a pointer that is null, meaning it probably has not been
initialized. In a language like C it would probably have resulted in a
core dump.

There is usually a stack trace so you should have got a series of
messages telling you where this happened. It will be a series of lines
showing the path through code and library modules leading to this. 

You 'll need to supply this to IBM support.

What version of  Java (JRE) are you running?
