Hi Kathey,
Here is what happens... Yes, this is a multi-threaded system. No, only one shutdown request is happening. I have not tried with deregister=true. The new finding is... This NullPointerException is only happening in a Single CPU (or single Core) system. When the system and Kernel is upgraded to 2 CPU / core system - the NullPointerException no longer happens, also the same has been tried on a 4 CPU / core system and it does not happen there again. So strangely this is only happening on a single processor system. I feel that there should be a check for null in org.apache.derby.impl.store.raw.xact.XactFactory.add() method to check for ttab for null.

That always makes things easier to debug. I guess the next step is to understand how you get into this state. Is there a stand alone reproduction that you can post in Jira? Is there something in the log prior to this NPE that might give us an indication of what was going on when you got the NPE? Is your program multi-threaded? Is there possibly more than one thread shutting down at once? Do you have the same problem if you use deregister=true?
