[G4] Somebody speaking Log-Chinese?

[Mel Krewall]

EOFException likely means that the application encountered the end of a 
file before it expected it, which caused a problem with the program.
NullPointerException indicates a problem with program memory 
allocation, usually as a result of poor programming or not taking into 
account certain logic states.
If you know what program is creating the error, you might want to try 
to get a newer version. It seems to be a Java application casting the 
error. Trashing the log won't help anything. Depending on what program 
is causing it, it might not be critical.
